> there is a completely different aspect to touch typing which non-touch-typing programmers don't even realize: Touch typists don't spend much effort for typing, it happens almost automatically. I can't touch-type, but I also don't need to spend any effort on typing. It happens automatically. I don't know about other devs, but I don't really see any advantage to touch-typing in my own work. My WPM isn't up the standards of professional typists, however it's certainly high enough that it isn't a detriment.
