I type at 65+ WPM, so a little faster than you. And I'll tell you what, it's
not the typing speed that irritates me whenever I and one of my colleagues
work with the same screen (me looking at somebody's hands). It's not even how
effectively they use their code editor (although it used to). It's how fast
they can follow my reasoning, my instructions, and how effectively they solve
my steering questions (I have this (bad?) habit of making my colleague to come
to a conclusion on his own) [&].
I don't think any of your colleagues considers it a problem that you type
slower than them, and to me, faster typing is more of a party trick than
a necessary skill.
Of course I understand that my comment here may not ease your mind in the
matter if you happen to want to actually type faster (as opposed to wanting
not to be burden for colleagues). Unfortunately, I can't offer you much of an
advice, barring maybe seconding the howlett's comment about looking a word
ahead of your current position.
[&] Now that I think of it, the speed of following is probably much more on
the side of me not knowing how to pack more precise information and my thought
process into sentences than anything else.
