But think about arguing online! It’s apparently a hobby and to be competitive, you need to be able to spew bullshit at amazing rates. Personally I’ve maxed out at 140 wpm, but usually stay in the 100 wpm range.
Programming? Idk, I spend more time thinking than typing personally. Good code requires you to consider all the corner cases and such.
I prefer to argue on the internet via my phone, which I can type pretty fast on thanks to the swipe to type.
and yeah programming simply doesn’t require fast typing, I tend to diagram everything out on my whiteboard before even opening my ide. I just have to write tons and tons of code since I’m in a few low level programming classes

I’m the opposite… I rarely reply when I’m on my phone because swiping and tapping away at the touchscreen keyboard is so slow and inaccurate. I spend more time correcting swypos than I do writing I think.
Meanwhile on the desktop I can punch out a shining example of wit (or at least a spoonerism of that) at 100+ wpm at 100% accuracy.
I diagram everything out in my brain and it evolves continuously while I’m writing code
Sometimes I feel it’s a miracle I get anything done at all but then usually the end result is better than what I’d originally envisioned so it kinda balances out.
and yeah programming simply doesn’t require fast typing
Funny enough making MC plugins and mods while moderating my own server was what got me to over 100 WPM
Because without meds my brain fires so fast that if I DIDNT type at 115 I’d have forgotten where my for loop was going before ive even finished the conditions it triggers under
My code is slooooooopppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy thanks to that, but it’s also not for anyone else’s eyes ever so im good

I’m limited by the rate at which I can think of bullshit.
Well there’s your problem. Don’t think. Just bullshit.

Sent from my phone, slowly.

I used to do that but the more I get into os programming the more I’ve found myself scrapping entire 1000+ line files and rewriting the entire thing 🙃
and I think “it’s a miracle I get anything done” is a very common thought in most programmers heads lol

The someone else’s eyes are your eyes a few months down the line when you have to fix something
Bold of you to assume I don’t just let those errors in the log pile up
If I don’t look at the log then they don’t exist!
