Comment Re:I don't type very fast when I'm coding (Score 1) 545
I'm the same way.
The other day while coding I realized that I was typing waaaay faster than I normally do while typing.
Then I realized that it was because I was writing an IM.
After that I went back to coding and my typing slowed down tremendously.
Thinking about this, it's probably because over time I've learned that it saves a lot of time to slow down and consider the structure that you are creating when coding, and making sure that you have very few typos/switched variable names. Sometimes the tools can help you catch those, but in other cases (such as using the wrong variable), you can far more time looking for a mistake than the time lost by slowing down a bit and not making the mistake in the first place.
