I’ve been a technical writer for over 20 years, have a Master’s degree in Computer Science, worked in college as a computer programmer, and taught kids and adults computer literacy, apps, and programming. I never learned “keyboarding.” And I would not waste classroom time teaching it either. Make it available for students who want to learn it on their own time, sure. But never require it.
Writers and programmers should type less, and think more.
The best software developers I have known are almost all insane typists.
How else might a single person hope to write, manage, morph or grow commercial-quality software whose source files run into the many 10s of megabytes?
