> It’s difficult to type and think at the same time Maybe for the author. I think best at the keyboard. As others have noted, once you reach the point where the typing is both quick and unconscious, words just kind of happen. Obviously at a gross level one's typing speed isn't the bottleneck in coding; you need so little ASCII on screen vs. with prose. However, being able to get even "bad" out quickly can help you rough out an algorithm quickly. The ability to get the code onscreen at the speed of thought is very, very valuable.
