>> I can think faster than you can type

No, you can't. Just because the author operates at XYZ skill level, does not mean the rest of us are similarly impaired. I'm sorry he had to sit through so many boring coding presentations that he purposefully chose to attend.

So... you're saying that you're some god-level typist and logician who can push out multiple 500 character Python 1-liners in 2 seconds or ... something?

Most of us can read and understand code faster than we can type it out.

No I'm an ordinary professional. I don't start typing until I've thought it out, and then it's a very mediocre 100-115wpm. I'm saying the article author must be an exceptionally slow typist, or prone to mistakes - not that I am anything more than average.
