Do you find that you have a particularly document-heavy workflow? Because I find I spend far more time navigating code than writing new code, and I try to let Intellisense do most of the letters. I've never felt that a higher WPM would help me in programming.

(Early on in my career someone I worked with had one of those "spend a whole week testing things and then emit a one character change" times, and that left an impression on me)

Then there's the APL programmers, who are all like "what do you mean 'a word'"?
