> "fast typing: I could never relate to developers as senior, no matter the years of experience, if I see them shooting the keyboard with two or four fingers" One of my very good friends and one of the best programmers I know types slowly and using only four fingers and a thumb. He's paralyzed in one arm. He's still been an absolutely prolific open source contributor and 2x YC startup CTO. Typing speed probably isn't as important as you might think.
