"API documentation, design proposals, e-mails, IMs, etc" None of those are programming. They are communication and admin. Which are completely different.

- briancooley 18y agoWhich wouldn't be a problem if you had infinite hours to do everything. If you are spending two hours a day doing that stuff instead of one hour because you type slow, that's one less hour that you could be coding, or learning, or whatever.
- nradov 18y agoExactly. And they all have to get done in whatever limited time you have.
- kingkongrevenge 18y agoI disagree. Writing and coding are much the same. I interpret the replies to this as saying you should hurry through this stuff. Just shovel the crap out. Well, if it's not worth writing with some care then it's not worth writing at all. If it's worth writing with care, then your typing speed is not going to be the relevant bottleneck, unless we're talking about a hunt and peck typist. I take it as given that anything one writes, whether code or English, should be read and edited three times before moving on. 80 wpm vs 50 wpm ain't gonna matter if you're doing this.
