Why Does Code Typing Speed Matter?
Increasing your coding speed is really important because it allows you to focus on implementation rather then be slowed down by ability. When typing code becomes second nature, you can allocate all your brain processing power to actual problem solving.
Tool To Boost Your Speed
This is a site that I created but I promise its actually good and not just a lazy promo. It’s a free game / site I created called CodeRacer. This site allow you to type out code snippets in 10 different languages (Java, Python, C++, C, Typescript, Go, C#, HTML, Javascript, & Kotlin).
I created this tool for myself a few years back and only just recently released it. I used to have to look down on my keyboard when typing things like semi colons, brackets, curly braces, parenthesis, numbers, or even greater/less than signs. Games like typeracer and monkeytype were great for general speed but these characters were often never present in those games and so I thought the best way to get better at typing code is to type more code. So I developed CodeRacer. Within just a week I noticed a huge difference in my speed. I didn’t have to look down at the keyboard any more to type these characters and my coding speed got better. And it wasn’t a placebo because I tracked the WPM (words per minute) and over time it got higher.
