I am one of those slow programmers that writes good code. My manager used to say that any dates I give him, he has to multiply by 2 or 3. However he knows that any code delivered has no bugs whatsoever. I just checked and I had 4 defects found against my code for the entire last year. I completed about 70 features of varying complexity.

Here is the kicker, I completed the most features out of anyone of my team. What happens to them is they finish a feature and within a few sprints they have at least a couple of defects they have to address from their own code. So their feature + defects ends up taking longer than my feature coding speed.

Having said that in 2020 I started to try to devise strategies to iterate faster, mainly because I felt I could optimize my thinking process since I knew that I had mental loops I would get stuck in trying to solve a problem.

Of course this is just my personal experience.
