I don't think at the speed of thought means you need to verbalize in your head each bit of your code. You can perhaps visualize it. I can think of a snippet of a for loop a lot quicker than I can make the individual declarations of that loop.

You need to write code, to be read possibly by people without brain implants.

Hmm. That actually opens up a solution: remove the requirement you mention, and we might have sizeable benefits from 1st gen implants in jobs like coding too, we'd just need to switch/translate to languages specifically designed to the make the bes of the implant's particular characteristic.

Though that would soon turn into the mother of all "technical" debt issues...
