I would like to disagree. While it might be true that being good at typing can help and certainly doesn't hurt I don't think it is a requirement. Also being slow at typing will make you think twice at what you are writing, which is good! Personally I learnt to type properly only finding my first full time job!

I used to type extremely fast but over the years I developed nerve damage in my left hand from what docs told me was bad posture and bad keyboards.
5 years ago I switched to a split keyboard and now type half as fast but surprisingly I’m more efficient.

it seems like many people who don't like what you said pressed the down-arrow as though it were a disagree button.
I personally agree with this comment, my typing speed is not the limiting factor in my ability to turn out good programs.
