If you don't want to share, no problem, I'm not really interested in your personal score. This is more the question: do you think it makes sense as programmer to be able to type fast?

I actually like that game. :+1:

73 WPM. I'm not a fast typist, but that doesn't matter. What you type is what matters. You should want to type as little as possible. The more you type, the more bugs you introduce. I use most of my time thinking. The typing part is easy and don't take very long.

73 is actually quite a stunt... I just tried: 53, my friend: 50...

50% improvement at these type of speeds is huge!
