A comment on Ask HN: What does mastery look like in software engineering?. Parent comment
I can. Actually, when I learned touch typing I realized how much was I slowed down by typing before.
You might argue that I need to think for a time before I start typing. That's right. But:
1) Once I start, it flows and it's like I'm reviewing the code as I type, correcting and expanding.
2) Writing fast somehow makes me think faster for the next "pre-typing" thinking cycle.
