There is a article that talks about Touch typing in Programming.

As a programmer, typing is what you do most, so you should spend time to become good at it. Touch typing is not only about rapid typing. It’s also about the freedom of your eyes. You can look at the screen and still be able to strike the right keys. That way you’ll discover typing errors more quickly.

Being able to look away and still type has another great advantage. When I get into “the zone”, my most productive state, I’d like to stay there as long as possible without interruption. If someone comes by I’m still able to continue my work thanks to touch typing. All I have to do is turn my face to the intruder and fake interest with nodding, humming and carefully placed responses like “mmm’right”, “mmm’kay” or “mmm’yes”. Try it, and I promise your productivity will skyrocket.

Yup you are right. High speed typing doesn't matter as long a maka-solve ra sa problem. 30-35 words per minute is enough na.

Ang important ka'y
1. Sakto ang layout sa imong fingers positon less ang kapoy.
2. Memorization sa kada keys para dili na kailangan mag-duko then tan-awn sa monitor.
