It does help a little to have some typing speed, but haste makes waste.
When it comes to typing speed, I disagree. Yes, much of my programming is sitting and thinking, but once I decide how to tackle a certain difficult task, and sort it out in my head, I wish I could type faster. (I touch-type approx. 70 wpm and am missing my right index finger.) Sometimes I write pseudo code to be filled in later so that I can get my inspiration poured out of my brain.
I think experience, rather than typing speed will create better code. I (typically) no longer make common mistakes like = when I meant:= etc.
A good programmer that can type fast will likely code faster than a good programmer that types slow.
That said, though, I do agree that a rushed project facing a looming deadline will suffer, and there, indeed, haste will make waste.
I don't see how your typing is better if it's not faster. I've been touch-typing for over twenty seven years without wrist problems. Posture is important.
Um, I, myself, wouldn't complain about this.
If you would, it (probably) says one thing clearly:
"I'm fat and I defend my right to be."
Ok, uh, don't you wanna think about that before yelling it too loudly?
Tell me that being fat isn't a choice? Go on, I dare ya.
I write "mine" on my lunch bag etc. I may label tools and other things with "mine." This is only unambiguous if I'm the only person on the planet that does this. Consider yourself notified as of now.

"and the science gets done and we make a neat gun for the people who are still alive." Woot! Let there be cake.
"There are a lot of not-so-smart people with degrees." You're being too nice. Many of them are Fidiots.

The crown will plainly show the prisoner who now stands before you was caught red-handed showing feelings of an almost human nature. This will not do.
And what about you? Git. We don't want your kind around here.
Oh you poor thing. It must be awful to be tied to your computer desk and forced at gunpoint to read slashdot. Too bad you couldn't just go away.
