Spent a couple hours writing docs for a CL library I’ve been working on and have a question. I remember reading an argument that went something like: > If you don’t type decently fast, you’ll be hesitant to throw away and rewrite bad sections. Anyone know where that’s from?
Hmmm I’ve advocated people learn to touch type so that typing speed doesn’t get in their way but never made that connection.

Yeah… I distinctly remember the “typing slow means you’re loathe to throw away shit that doesn’t work because of the sunk cost of typing it out” idea but cannot for the life of me remember where I heard it.

That reminded me of this: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/09/programmings-dirtiest-little-secret.html … but I can't find that particular claim here
