All else being equal sure typing faster is only going to make you more productive but a slower typer who is better at solving complex problems is always going to be more valuable than a fast typer who is not as good. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a programmer that was too slow to simply be productive and valuable to a business which makes it questionable advice for anyone to follow.
- marcos100 5y agoIt's about touch typing only. If you start changing other variables, the comparison doesn't make sense anymore (to the discussion). Of course your senior engineer that wrote the thing will be more productive than your intern that writes 1000 WPM.
- stepbeek 5y agoThis is a false dichotomy. Being a great problem-solver doesn't disqualify one from being a fast typist.
