You'll get to your ten or twelve lines of code per day real fast then. What you gonna do with the rest of your time?

Sure, code written (and rewritten) (and deleted) versus net output. But maybe be more thoughtful, do less than 40wpm, and write a better solution overall.



That's a good point!

I think the point is 40wpm allows you to code. If you wrote at 10 lines per day, 80 char per line works out to 0.0333wpm.

You'll forget what you're doing by the time get a word out.

As in once you hit 40wpm you won't be slowed by your typing as you try to code.

(WPM is characters per minute over 5, i.e. assumes average word is 5 chars long).
