Frequently asked questions

How is coding speed measured?+

Like normal typing: words per minute (WPM), where one word counts as 5 characters including spaces and symbols. Only correctly typed characters count, and accuracy shows how many keystrokes were right.

What is a good typing speed for programmers?+

Around 40–60 WPM on code is solid. Code is slower to type than prose because of brackets, symbols and indentation — and in real work, thinking matters far more than raw speed.

How can I type code faster?+

Learn to type without looking at the keyboard, practise the symbols you use most ({ } ( ) [ ] = : ;), and let your editor's autocomplete and snippets do the repetitive parts.
