Why Typing Speed Matters for Developers


The Myth of the "Slow but Deliberate" Coder

  • Many developers believe that coding speed is irrelevant. "It's about thinking, not typing," they say. While thinking is paramount, the physical act of typing is the bridge between your thoughts and the computer. A slow, error-prone bridge can disrupt your entire workflow.

Reducing Cognitive Load

  • When typing becomes second nature, you spend less mental energy on finding keys and correcting typos. This frees up your cognitive resources to focus entirely on the complex logic of the problem you're solving.
