From 30 WPM to 120 WPM: My Touch Typing Journey and App Creation

This post recounts the author's journey from a slow typist to achieving 120 WPM. Initially struggling with typing speed, impacting his programming and job search, he dedicated 10-15 minutes daily to practice. He experimented with typing apps, eventually creating his own, TypeQuicker. His techniques included focusing on accuracy, practicing specific character sequences, and utilizing AI-generated text for realistic practice. Improved typing dramatically boosted his coding efficiency, job prospects (landing roles at Amazon and Wealthsimple), and overall productivity, illustrating the significant impact of a seemingly small skill.
