I'm a programmer. I write hundreds of lines of code a day (of varying levels of quality ofc). I also fix technology (phones, laptops, desktops. tablets, etc). I'm probably one of the most "tech-savvy" people I know. I very rarely type faster than 70 wpm. it's just not necessary for what most of us are doing.

But think about arguing online! It's apparently a hobby and to be competitive, you need to be able to spew bullshit at amazing rates. Personally I've maxed out at 140 wpm, but usually stay in the 100 wpm range.

Programming? Idk, I spend more time thinking than typing personally. Good code requires you to consider all the corner cases and such.

I'm limited by the rate at which I can think of bullshit.

Well there's your problem. Don't think. Just bullshit.
