> In my experience, typing speed is never the issue. I've worked with truly 10x and better programmers in my life and the road block for even them is thinking not typing.

Thinking is a lot easier when your output is seamless and reliable though. Nothing sucks more than debugging typos. The code should work, but it doesn’t. You know you did everything right, but it just won’t work.

20min later … oh wait it’s a typo. Fix was perfect just mangled between brain and keyboard.

Double bad when for whatever reason you can only debug on a remote environment and every iteration takes several minutes.

Learn to type fast and reliably. It’s easily one of the highest ROI things I ever did.
