You touch type not to break a world record. You touch type because you can write without thinking about the keyboard, just like you don't think when using or arms or legs, and it's faster to correct an error that you made.
Imagine that you want to correct a block of code or a whole paragraph. If you don't touch type, maybe you will think twice before rewriting it.
- TheMonarchist 5y agoI don't mind being slow early on when I'm doing something new, because I know that I will get muscle memory for things I repeat a lot and become faster. I also use an editor that supports mapping keys (currently vim). Besides, only Java can make any programming task I/O bound ;p
