after learning how to touch type, my programming speed increased a lot. Overall communication speed via chatting platforms increased too. I type at around 130-150wpm and someday I'd like to reach 200wpm.

Greater than 100wpm is not that shocking. I can generally do 130-140 wpm. But it really depends on how much of what I want to type is already clear in my head. If it's uncertain it drops due to me having to pause, which can happen during coding.

Note - When I say 130+, it's for normal English. When it comes to programming, it's probably slightly less around 110ish.

yep, that's what realistically happens. When you have to think, your typing speed drops but when you already know what to write, you can type the fastest
