I find typing speed by itself not something you explicitly need to `learn`. Any coder worth his salt would definitely have spent years typing in code which _should_ result in the coder having fast typing speed. To say that you need fast typing to be a good programmer feels like a reversal of cause and effect to me. IMO People should be taught to love coding, then they'll naturally pick up touch typing by themselves.
