You can connect the two and infer interesting facts, but programming ability has nothing to do with blind touch typing. You can have zero skill in one and be great in the other. Yes I've met programmers who can't touch type. Their "hunt and peck" is faster than a lot of other people's touch typing. Programmers tend to have better typing skills in general than other people. But speed wise, real[1] touch typists leave general programmers[2] in the dust. This should not be a surprise. [1] Touch typists who are specialized for typing speed as first priority. This doesn't generally include programmers because they are specialized for programming and typing is really just a secondary skill in being able to use "a tool of trade". [2] Someone will now suggest that they happen to have practiced for a week and can beat everyone they know. Well done. Now you're still not a specialized touch typist... A real touch typist just needs to practice more and will still likely beat you. Or it could be argued they type faster due to characters/week.
