The Author lost me at "I'm glad I'm not a touch typist". Coding isn't about typing at the same time when programming you should be writing code not thinking about where the semicolon is. I type and interact with my IDE incredibly rapidly. Generally my ability to type quickly is not the bottle neck. Sometimes it is. When it is I'm glad I can do it as rapidly as I can. Meanwhile I agree with other comments that slow programming is the wrong word. You can rapidly write quite a bit of code with out needing to resort to hacking or avoiding best practices. It depends on your familiarity with the space and ability to properly construct the problem in terms of implementation quickly. The point here is that you work at the appropriate pace and put some sense of craftsmanship into your work. I doubt that over the course of a sizeable project the approach of being diligent versus hasty is going to result in the diligent programmer tacking longer to get the same amount of work done.
