What could be extra cool is just imagining a loop construct in your head and it just appears in your text editor.
Is there already a scene for this? Sign me up.

As there are also plenty of competent typists and computer users at that age, It’s all about the influences, wonder how I can avoid that and brain plasticity excuses
What's the better measure of typing speed: full words correct with no typos, or full words typos included? A buddy of mine used some timing app for our typing speeds, you had to backspace repeatedly to retype a word if you misspelled it. I argued that is unrealistic, you can just use spell check or just catch the typos during your editing read through.
> What's the better measure of typing speed Full words correct with no typos. If you want to measure this, you're interested in the combination of reading speed and muscle memory while typing. If you're making typos, your muscle memory is not good. Using a spell checker to automatically fix those words... Well, the number is not comparable, then.
A very effective friend of mine once said if your messages are perfect you're spending the oo much time on them.
This is the "next" technology I'm excited about. A cap/something that lets me provide another input device to my machine where I can treat it like a keyboard. Imagine being able to think about a chord and have that input sent to stdin. What could be extra cool is just imagining a loop construct in your head and it just appears in your text editor.

I write at 50 wpm, type at 100, and speak at 150, a brain interface would have to be 300 or more to make it worth wearing another wearable.
Obviously, that's still sci fi at this point, but that's what you seem to be rejecting here.
To each their own, I guess.

How does ‘muscle memory’ apply to a brain computer interface?
will such an interface ever be possible without invasive implants in your brain?

That feels pedantic to me. A more important, but also more difficult, measure would be of information conveyed, regardless of how it's accomplished. A very effective friend of mine once said if your messages are perfect you're spending the oo much time on them.
Typing speed is not about understanding information to its fullest, it's just a somewhat quirky metric for the speed of replication of words.
