"One of my early mentors taught me that "it's not how fast you type but what you type" that matters."
Are you saying an increase in typing speed brings a proportionate decrease in thought quality? Otherwise you obviously end up more productive if you increase typing speed.
People who compare poor coders who type fast with great coders who type slowly are utterly missing the point. Typing faster is about self-improvement. It's about having more fun at coding while being more productive. If it also makes you better than the next programmer, then great, but it's not the point.
