Typing speed only really matters for juniors and going into intermediate developers, after that point thinking methodology - abstraction design, data structures, system design, complexity isolation, matter way, WAY more.

50% because by the time you get to this your typing speed has crossed a threshold of no longer being the bottleneck and 50% because you are experienced enough not to make all the silly little mistakes and your unit of work is larger and more complex

You mean to say programmers deal only with machines (and therefore code and shell commands) or something? Of course typing speed matters - we deal with Slack, Teams, emails, documentation, comments, LLM prompts, etc., daily. Sure no one's saying you must achieve stenographer's velocity or you can't call yourself a programmer. Still, typing speed has certain importance, it just can't be painfully slow, that's all. But thinking it doesn't matter at all is a manner of hubris.
