I don't think the typing speed is so important for a programmer as a quality itself. Ok there is all the "interface with the computer" business, but in my opinion here the point is, it's strange that you managed to be a good programmer and not a good typist, because getting good at programming requires typing a lot of programs. So either you are simply genetically not good typing, so even if you typed a lot, and you are a good programmer, you are still a bad typist, or you did not typed enough and perhaps did not programmed enough to be a good programmer. Exceptions exist but I think the final possibility of being very good at programming with little programming activity is very unusual and strange.
