As someone diagnosed with RSI, I'm looking for ways to type and use my track pad slower and less of the time. I find that other than text chatting with my co workers, nothing really depends on me being able to type fast. I don't know what kind of programming work the author does, but I find I have to type/track pad very little even for large refactorings and slowing down from about 80wpm typing to probably half that hasn't really affected my working speed. I'd say I'm at least half to a quarter as slow both typing and tracking (used to use a trackball which was faster than any track pad or mouse) and it's affected my overall speed less than 10%. There are many ways to automate and avoid a lot of repetitive actions in programming which also help quite a bit.
