I'm a bit confused about the premise of the article. Does anyone assert that typing speed is a bottleneck at all? I've been in the industry for years, and have never heard that claim.
I do agree about the whole "less code is not always more", but I get confused when the author keeps bringing it back to typing speed.
I've heard the argument as a positive of learning vim and while it did finally force me to touch type I can't say that it had any impact on my programming speed.
Same. I think vim and touch typing are more about comfort tbh.
