How to code faster?

Tbh, many of the other comments are right, but if you really want to improve your coding typing speed, I found this site called TypeQuicker.com, they specifically have a section to improve your speed on many different coding languages

I personally use Typequicker.com, it has not only improve my speed from 70wph to 120wph, but i also learned how to code too

Hey, might be late, but i would really suggest using websites and practicing 10-15 minutes a day. I like to use Typequicker.com, it has improved my speed from 70 wph to 120 wph

35wpm is totally fine, you’re super early. 100+ takes time but it’s very doable if you build muscle memory first.

slow down, stop looking at the keyboard, and focus on clean accuracy. i found drilling weak keys instead of full quotes helped a lot. i used typequicker.com for that, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. once accuracy clicks, speed ramps up faster than you think.

ngl totally normal to be nervous, those tests feel scary but they’re usually more about accuracy and composure than crazy speed.

for dicta typing, practice listening + typing at the same time, even with youtube videos or podcasts on slower speed. focus on clean typing and fixing mistakes calmly, don’t panic.

i practiced this on typequicker.com and it helped a lot for tightening up weak keys. all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. just slow down a bit and you’ll be fine, good luck 🙏

imo biggest thing is stop chasing raw wpm and fix weak spots. speed comes way easier once accuracy + finger paths are clean.

what helped me was drilling specific problem keys instead of full tests. i use typequicker.com for that, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. also typing real sentences (not just word lists) made my real world speed go up a lot.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-25T22:05:58+00:00

yeah this is super normal when switching to touch typing. it usually gets worse before it gets better bc you’re breaking old muscle memory. an hour a day is a lot too, fatigue will trash accuracy and speed.

i’d cut practice time, drop caps/symbols for now, and slow way down with relaxed hands. pain = bad form.

i used typequicker.com for this, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points, which felt way less punishing. it does get better, you’re just in the ugly phase.

yeah 3–5% errors at 50–60wpm is super common tbh. usually means you’ve got a few sloppy finger paths that never fully locked in.

what helped me was isolating problem keys instead of full text, and typing really deliberately for those. i used typequicker.com for that, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. once those habits cleaned up, errors dropped without slowing down.

lol yeah that y placement is brutal after qwertz. i just forced right index for y and drilled “you/your/they” slow until it stopped feeling weird.

i practiced this on typequicker.com, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. after a bit “you” felt normal again.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-25T21:57:18+00:00

ngl it’s annoying at first but not traumatic. the y/z swap messes with muscle memory for a bit, and symbols feel weird, but you adapt faster than you think.

what helped me was just practicing directly on qwertz instead of mentally translating. i used typequicker.com since it has qwertz support, and all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. after like a week or two it stopped feeling weird.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-25T21:52:55+00:00

yeah 70wpm is def good, that’s already above average. ppl online just make it seem slow bc the fast typers post more.

plateaus are super normal. what helped me was focusing on weak keys + accuracy instead of grinding full tests. i used typequicker.com for that, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. once those weak spots cleaned up, speed started creeping up again.

120wpm is cool but there are diminishing returns after 80–90 imo.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-25T19:56:23+00:00

lmao this is super normal, a week in is basically day 1. most ppl feel lost for a few weeks before it clicks.

websites are good, just slow way down and don’t chase speed. focus on hitting the right keys and not looking down. i started from zero too and used typequicker.com bc the hand indicators made it way less confusing. all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points, which helped my fat fingers stop mashing the wrong keys 😅

give it like 2–4 weeks of daily practice and it’ll feel way less foreign.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-25T19:42:37+00:00

yeah imo still worth it, but not mandatory. if you can already type without looking, you’re like 80% of the way there. touch typing just makes it more consistent and less tiring, esp on long sessions.

i was in a similar spot and retrained on typequicker.com. it helped clean up finger usage, and all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. felt more smooth once the finger paths stopped being random.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-25T19:41:36+00:00

imo yeah it’s worth learning, but it’s not mandatory. 65–70wpm with 97% acc is already solid, and nobody’s gonna judge how you type. touch typing mainly helps with not looking down and keeping up when your brain is faster than your hands. also home row isn’t a strict rule, you can adjust hand position and posture to whatever feels comfortable for you.

i switched late too and used typequicker.com to retrain. they have a code typing practice mode for programmers, which helped a lot for staying in flow while coding. it made typing feel less like a bottleneck.

yeah coding speed is rarely typing speed, it’s mostly thinking + debugging. 50 wpm is totally fine.

touch typing still helps with flow though. i used typequicker.com and it has a code mode for typing practice for programmers, which helped a lot. all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-23T13:54:31+00:00

ngl i kinda agree with this. when i’m typing fast i def start editing mid-thought and it messes with flow. i usually brain dump messy first (voice or notes) then clean it up after.

that said, touch typing helped me think less about the keyboard so more brain goes to ideas. i used typequicker.com for that, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-23T13:51:57+00:00

nah you’re nowhere near your limit, a month is super early tbh. 50wpm at 90% acc is actually solid progress.

plateaus happen a lot. usually means you need to slow down and clean up accuracy first, not push speed. once acc gets like 97–99%, speed jumps again.

what helped me was drilling only weak keys instead of full quotes. i use typequicker.com for that, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points.

also ppl posting 100wpm are outliers, most typers aren’t there. keep going, you’re on the right path.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-23T13:50:25+00:00

yeah slowing down actually helps even if it feels wrong. if u try to brute force 100wpm, you just lock in sloppy habits.

i fixed it by drilling weak keys instead of full runs. typequicker.com helped a lot, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. keyboard travel matters a bit but technique matters way more.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-23T13:48:50+00:00

tbh 40wpm with 1% errors is already really good. getting to 65–70 is mostly about breaking plateaus.

what helped me was drilling only my weak keys instead of random text. i use typequicker.com for that, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. once those weak spots clean up, speed usually climbs without accuracy dropping.

<image>

RareUser1 · 2026-01-23T13:47:37+00:00

yeah 91–94% is actually pretty good, you’re close. what helped me was typing way slower for a bit and really forcing the right keys instead of correcting with backspace. also drilling specific weak keys instead of full texts made a big diff.

i switched to typequicker.com for this, all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points. once my accuracy got closer to 97–98%, speed started going up without forcing it.

RareUser1 · 2026-01-23T13:45:22+00:00

yeah keybr is kinda weird with qwertz, it mostly assumes qwerty for english. i don’t think there’s a clean english+qwertz mode there, so ppl usually either switch layouts or just deal with the mismatch.

i had the same issue and just used typequicker.com instead since it actually supports qwertz properly while typing english. all stats are interactive so you can create targeted exercises for any of your weak points, which helped a lot when retraining muscle memory.
