That's a joke, isn't it? It says "Software Intern Please invert a binary tree instead... You type C at 17 words/minute (185 chars/minute) with 100% accuracy."

- dominicwhyte 5y agoYes, definitely a joke :D You get a different message depending on the words/min typed
- Rochus 5y agoI see ;-) Also the words/minute figure is questionable if I type 185 chars/minute.
- dominicwhyte 5y agoThat's a good point - words/min isn't a great way to measure code typing speed. Right now I use whitespaces to delimit "words" - maybe I should also delimit by parentheses and punctuation? e.g. "Object.create(http.IncomingMessage.prototype)" is a very long word :D
- Rochus 5y agoNot sure whether there is any standardized way to measure words in programming languages. The natural unit would be tokens, but these are even more language dependend than words of a natural language. Chars/minute makes more sense.

I'm ~ 50wpm and it was apparent that I never maintain that speed except for short bursts. I consider myself on the slower side compared to some people I've worked with before. I have never had any motivation to type code faster FWIW.
