On: Time is the only real currency we have

[DavidVoid]

If you really want to take the "Learn to type fast" advice to heart you can get a Georgi keyboard [1] and spend a few months learning stenography [2]. That can get you typing at above 200 WPM! (but it does require a significant amount of time to learn)

For a book author this seems a good thing, but for a developer?

We use so many special chars, i cant imagine that it is faster.

You can make custom chords for special chars and type them just as quickly as any other "word".

Here's an example of someone writing some javascript code with a steno keyboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBBiri3CD6w

I don't use it myself but I assume that it would be faster than regular QWERTY typing, but only once you've used it for several years.
