What an arrogant comment. If you'd read the post, you would have seen that I said it's often not the bottleneck, but there are times when you need to get stuff out of your head as quickly as possible.

This "typing is not the bottleneck" is such a cliché - I nearly wrote about it in the article. It presupposes that programming is some kind of pipes-and-filters activity where we're thinking and then typing and then compiling. I don't know about you, but when I'm programming I work in different states. Sometimes it actually is about getting the code into the computer as fast as possible. Not all the time, but sometimes.
