I can only type at about 35WPM when im thinking. I dont like to type too fast, or I know I will make mistakes in the code, and if i do that, ill probably spend more time finding the errors, than i would have done typing carefully.

haha well.. i dont make programs but my average typing speed is like 80 wpm or whatever the letters are, i can go as high as like 120 though [in school we had this stupid program to supposedly improve ur typing skills, but i just used it as myspace time, since like yea i can type fast already haha ] and it doesnt help me really, i mean sometimes i dont think as fast as i type, or ill skip words when im typing because, im not even thinking about typing, im just moving my fingers, because i have where the keys are memorized hahah

(:

On a typing test, I get about 60 WPM. However, like some have mentioned, coding takes more accuracy and thought. In a normal human English sentence, one could do this: "inn a normol humen inglis sentance" and get by with 99% of English-speakers comprehending it. Funny thing is, It took me forever just to type that example of flawed language. We have more experience in English than any computer language, and a computer doesn't recognize semantics. If I said "yo, wassup comp? Could ya say 'hello world' for us?" in Python, I'd get a long string of red text shouting at me that I was the most stupid coder in the world and that I just made more errors than words. "print 'hello world'" gets much better results in the IDLE, by the way.

Sorry for going off on a weird tangent.

Yes, coding does affect typing speeds negatively. And no, when you type at 60+ speeds, I don't think it helps significantly in coding. You have to think a LOT. I'm not the world's best coder (I'm quite amateur, really), but I know even good coders take more time thinking than typing.
