Kind of like that "Fastest Internet" post, except this time, typing! I usually use "TypingTest.com", if you have a better test, use that I guess. Post your Words/M below! Mines not too bad, especially considering I only type with three fingers, and I don't use that "Home Row" stuff. I used the "Test Instructions" test on "TypingTest.com" at one minute. Note: Winner gets a bit from me if you need a reason to post.  |

Not bad for three fingers. Tried out the same test, my typing is pretty error strewn. Haven't been typing much lately.  |

Bit faster now. I felt like I was starting to get my rhythm a bit this afternoon.  |

I can't see your images, for some reason the host you're using isn't loading for me. |

Not sure why, it's just a .png image. I got 128wpm before errors, 117 after |

Start typing with 5 fingers and you should be able to beat that speed! |

It would take me a while to learn, ive typed likes this since I was about 10! I might try it soon, and that homerow thing too. |

For typing code I recommend http://typing.io/ I was impressed by your scores until I tried the same test and realized that typing sentences is easier than code and also that the test is only one minute long, so you can just burst it. Still impressive scores! |

Still impressive scores! Neat site, my typing speed is much slower with any of those programming tests. Those tests are definitely more suitable for measuring programming speed...I've found in the bulk of my day to day work that I type internal and external communications far more than program source...I'd guess 100 times or more. |

I've kept track of how much code I have written at the end of the day and it is surprisingly not a lot. But I do write code and then change it and run it and change it and test and change it. I still think it is important to be able to type quickly to keep up with your thoughts. And also for communication and documentation. I wouldn't go as far to say that a coder who can't touch type is like a swimmer who wears cargo shorts. Coding is primarily about thinking. At least that's how I feel about it now. I used to think it was really important and maybe when I know more about what I am doing and don't need to spend as much time as typing. Hotkeys are important to productivity. |

No doubt, if the typing process is slower than the thinking process then you have a bottleneck. |
