I went to a typewriter course in the 1970s as a teen. A couple of years before I saw the first computer.

The interesting question would be do you use "correct" 10 finger typing?

I don't. I use some 6-8 fingers mostly blindly. Actually I have to do it blindly because the keys E-R-T and U-I-O on my current keyboard are so worn off that I cannot read the letters anymore. So I take a bit of pride that I can type blindly and don't replace my keyboard:)

This works well as long as I don't think about it. But as soon as I start to look at the keyboard and think about it, especially R and T or I and O get difficult to get right.

Yes, some colleagues type faster than myself. But the correlation between a fast typist and productive programmer is not very high in my experience.
