Touch typing is the only skill in programming with a directly measurable effect on performance, second best is a high level of English reading comprehension.

8. Thumbs are not used for typing letters but for mashing space

@lbfalvy if your performance is measured in amount of words written throughout the day.

10, since the times when I was teenager and played WoW until 3 AM. And I was not allowed, so I could not have lights enabled or my parents would notice, so... Blind typing was learned quite fast.

@WildOrangutan Load balance space and the touchpad if you're using a laptop. It can also reach Alt and LAlt quite easily so you can have some common commands on those keys to strain your pinky less.

Do English-speaking people usually have 10 or 8 fingers?
