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.
