Hi, my Wpm is also quite low with about 50.
However I still feel that I could type code way faster than what these typespeed checkers want me to type.

  1. If I think it its inside my mind and I do not have to look at the screen.
  2. The logic is cleaner for me
  3. As a none native I may struggle with spelling and other stuff

Currently I try to get a better desk so I have a healthier and more productive writing position. Also I do not like my keyboard

yeah exactly exactly that what was I thinking, if i don't have to look to those words i would type way faster especially for code that I have written and got used to write.
