Question

Hi

Answer 1

Typing fast will save alot of time, but if you can't type fast yet then don't worry, after some time of practising typing and coding, you will notice that your typing speed increasing gradually. There are also games made for practising fast typing you will probably find these type of games online in google

Answer 2

Absolutely not! It's a common misconception that programmers type fast - sure they become really good at it but the root of programing is often done on a whiteboard with markers, where you have to figure out a solution for an intricate problem.

Typing fast will not improve your code in any way, if anything you are more prone to making mistakes.

Learn to code slow and at your own pace, speed will come eventually on its own
