Ask HN: How many WPM can you type, and what do you do for work?

2 pointsby LearnerHerzogover 7 years ago
I just feel like gaining some perspective on what kinds of typists frequent hacker news.<p>And, what did you do to improve your speed?<p>There are various kinds of typing tests online but here is a basic one we can refer to: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;10fastfingers.com&#x2F;typing-test&#x2F;english<p>I am hovering around 58 WPM on a good run without errors— I&#x27;m a web developer.<p>If this question is not within the rules, let me know. I am, still, sort of new here.

eh why not this could be fun, did one run with no errors total of 64 wpm.<p>background: novice&#x2F;intermediate programmer&#x2F;It guy, with some data entry experience.<p>Do not often push myself that fast while programming so, probably half that while doing so??
