Typing isn't just coding. Even if you code a lot, you probably spend more time typing other things than code.

The importance of typing fast is not letting your typing slow you down.

The same applies there, albeit to a lesser extent - if typing slows you down, you might not have thought things through.

That said, I have been typing more than writing for many years and am now thoroughly incompetent with a pen.

Actually I spend a lot of time typing documenting my code, so that my though process at the time is clear.
