typing sloooooooowww

I can only type ~40 wpm, and make plenty of mistakes at that. Do you think it's getting in the way of my programming productivity?

No, that just means you're new.

Keep hacking, you'll get better.

HMMM I wonder how many wpm I can type.

if anything, I'm getting worse

I type 800 WPM because I am an EXPERT PROGRAMMER. Your WPM rate will increase EXPONENTIALLY after you've read SICP for the third time.

I can type at least 300 wpm without any mistakes at all just keep typing.

I became an hero and now I can type 750,000 wpm without making mistakes and while I am being sodomised by Hitler, Saddam, and Pol Pott simultaneously

I wrote the free software song at a filksinging session at a science fiction convention. It was a "bardic circle" session, which means each person in turn around the hall had the chance to either sing or ask someone else to sing. I had just had my turn, and there were 20 or more people there, so I knew it would be a long time before I had another turn. I decided to pass the time writing a filksong. This meant I was not starting with any particular inspiration in mind. I had to look for what to write about and how.

So first I asked myself, what topic should it be about? I realized I had never written a filksong relating to free software, so I figured it was time I did.

Then I asked myself, what tune should I use? I realized I had never written a filksong using Bulgarian dance music, so I figured that would be a good thing to do for once. I chose Sadi Moma because it is not too fast or complicated, and is easy to sing.

By the time it was my turn again, the song was ready. After I sang it, someone else in the room said, "That has an anthem-like quality. You should show it to Richard Stallman." (That year was the time I was a little famous and I was a guest at the convention.)

I said, "I am Richard Stallman."

She said, "Oh, I'm sorry!"

I responded, "Don't be sorry, it's fun when that happens."
