You're still typing? I don't know how fast you can type, but I can speak way faster than I can type. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 wpm. Speech-to-text is pretty good now, and prompting an AI means I'm not trying to speak curly brace semicolon new line.

Average speaking speed for english speakers is 100-120 wpm for complex topic. I type 130wpm peak and I have the most common coding characters on my home row using neo layout.
