Been thinking about this a lot lately.

I can hit decent numbers on standard typing tests. But the moment I open my code editor and start writing actual functions like brackets, operators, camelCase, chained methods it feels completely different. The character distribution in code is nothing like prose. You are constantly reaching for: {} [] () => !== ?? ?.

Standard typing tests never train any of this. Your fingers get fast at the wrong things. Curious if others feel the same gap between their test scores and their actual coding speed or if it's just me.

 Also found something recently that seems to be built specifically for this problem: codetyper.in. Not launched yet but the concept makes a lot of sense to me. Uses real code snippets across 18 languages and scores accuracy over raw WPM.

 Anyone else been thinking about this?
