I completely disagree. The number of problem domains where typing speed is the bottleneck is quite small, and they aren't the interesting problems.

As I spend more time in this business, it becomes clearer and clearer to me that the job of a (senior or above) developer is not to be a typist. It is to assist people in figuring out exactly what their needs are, in a precise sense. Typing the results into a computer is almost incidental.
