Touch-Typing And Its Importance In Programming!

Typing fast is an underrated skill in software engineering, yet it's a game-changer, significantly improving one's productivity.💻🚀

I still remember I used to type very slowly, but now, I can type faster than most software developers.👨‍💻

Here's why fast typing is an important skill:

1. It helps you code faster in interview rounds, thereby improving overall productivity. Imagine a situation where you have to write a lengthy code solution within 5 minutes; fast typing will help you achieve it.✨

2. Helps you in Hackathons and coding contests allowing you to solve problems even before others finish reading.🚀

3. It assists you in writing blogs, essays, and communicating faster over e-mail, chat, etc. ✨

4. It enhances your overall proficiency in using the keyboard, allowing you to control your PC more efficiently.✅

5. Non-tech people might think you're doing some kind of hacking and stuff. :)

Here's how you can improve your typing speed from 30 to 100+ Words Per Minute :

1. Learn Touch Typing from various platforms, but I recommend the Typing website (1-1.5 months, 20 mins/day)

2) Practice weak keys on Keybr to improve accuracy:

3) After learning touch typing, move to the Monkeytype website, focus on accuracy first, and speed will come naturally with practice.

4)After reaching 60+ WPM, utilize the skill while coding and other important tasks.👨‍💻

5. You will reach 100+ WPM after 6-7 months without even realizing it.🚀

I encourage you to learn touch typing if you're looking for a way to boost your productivity. 🚀🚀
