If top-end professional programmers on Jan 1, 2027 are improved by learning to increase their typing speed on a keyboard, this will resolve YES.
I'm guessing most NO resolutions will involve the keyboard and typing being somewhat replaced as an input method.
Is there any data available on how much increased typing speed improves professional programmers right now, for this to be compared with?
As a professional programmer, I spend a lot more time contemplating other people's awful code and waiting for things to compile than I do typing at full speed. So I doubt differences in typing speed would affect my productivity all that much.
As a software engineer I find typing speed matters more now than previous since chatting with ChatGPT is wordier than googling ;).
But yeah, I think increasing typing speed is of interest to software engineers despite the actual writing of code not being the bottleneck in productivity. You type a lot that's not code, and even when you do write code, minimising the cognitive effort of doing so so that whatever else is in your brain doesn't have to be kicked out to make room is important.
