Typing benefits as observed by me recently

This blog is not based on how to improve typing but that how can we apply our skills on something that really matter.

I am recently following competitive programming on different platforms. My observations on these sites made me think to write something about it. I'm talking here about the implementation of codes in competitive programming contests where the time of submission matter a lot in deciding the overall standings.

You can follow the links below,
Google's CodeJam
CodeChef
Codeforces
Topcoder
And, the list is inexhaustible.

On these platforms, a problem gets submission as soon as within 2-5 minutes of release, guess how?
Do they use pre-written codes with some modifications while submission?
- Maybe yes, since logic gets repeated in competitive programming.
But most of the times, the pro programmer reads the problem statement and implements it within minutes to be at the top of the list.

Here in the implementation part is crucial, where it is decided who will win the race. He/she uses their control on keyboard to get the code written so fast. As a good programmer and implementer of problems into code, they have gradually became good at typing as well.
Their typing skills help them a lot in getting a decent rank.

Maybe, in upcoming blogs, I will share some more, good competitive programming sites as well as some coding competitions on which you can try your coding skills, plus your grip on the keyboard.
By the way, "Programming is thinking, not typing".
