I have not unfortunately experienced the typing thing (my typing speed is getting faster), but I can definitely say my appreciation for compact functions and mathematics has increased a great deal. I would also add to the list: 1) In my day-to-day life, precision has become more important. It's tougher for me to accept imprecise statements as they often reflect incomplete knowledge which, as we all know, will lead to "bugs" or lots of head-banging 2) Logical problem solving skills have increased right in line with my debugging effectiveness. 3) As walls of abstraction get torn down through application of technology and programming, I find it harder and harder to identify and describe technology to non-technology users without cringing (see number 1)
