I share much of the same ideas about this as the author.
For a long time, to make coding more natural (before and after LLMs) and not having to think about certain keywords or syntax, I would
create little Anki decks (10-20 cards) with basic exercises for a particular language or tool I was using. One to two weeks of 5-10 minutes/day of doing these exercises (like, how to redirect both stout and strrr into a file, how to read from a channel in go, etc) and I was working without having to pause.
Writing code became less disruptive and much easier to get my ideas into a text editor.
I’m also the creator of typequicker.com (disclaimer) and we added Code mode as a typing exercise.
At first I thought folks wouldn’t be interested. I was pleasantly surprised though; many people are using it specifically for the same reason that the author is talking about.
