I spend many hours of my professional life writing prose. Sending emails, code review, issues, typing in the group chat, documentation, design documents, tutorials, you name it.
When I'm writing prose, the speed I can type is the speed I can write. There are no downsides to being a competent touch typist. It's a bit much to say it makes me a better "coder" but there's no question it makes me better at my job.
- usrbinbash 5y agoI absolutely believe you and agree, there is no downside. My comment was about an existing (in my opinion wrong) perception in popular culture, were many aspirants get their ideas from, that being a good typist is somehow a requirement to being a good coder.
