Out of curiosity, why is this a yardstick for SW developers? I assumed the more valuable skill of the profession would be critical thinking and problem solving skills, not finger dexterity on pressing buttons without looking. That's why I didn't become a secretary or court stenographer.
I mean, a lot of doctors can't hand write for shit, but is that in anyway relevant to being a good doctor?
What about SW devs with handicaps or mobility issues?
Touch typing feels like a pretty niche hill to die on.
Hey, that's me :)
