My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs

I am quite a bit above 90 wpm. Almost exactly double for sustained (1 min+), and more than that for burst.

My theory is that the Intel macs generate too much heat for the chassis to handle (I'm currently on a 16" 2019), especially when being used by IntelliJ in projects with many files, having additional dev stuff running in the background, and with an external monitor connected.

Additionally, I perceive more lag on the Mac itself than on the external monitor, so I think there is a component that is due to the slow speed of the Macbook Pro display.

My theory is that you generate too much heat by typing that fast :)

No, seriously, what’s the secret?

Lots and lots of practice during moments of downtime. Those small moments add up over the years.

Back when I got my first Mac (2012) I was plateaued at 80-100 wpm. From there, it was an accumulation of intentional practice for fun and enjoyment.
