I don't think that typing code fast the the answer to anything related with being effective. What do you mean by typing? Just typing? I actually type slow but I know I can deliver the features on time. It's what you type that matters and if you learn to type less and do more, that's efficiency for me.

Also I google a lot and read docs a lot. That gives me an array of solutions and articles that I can assess in a pragmatic manner before I implement something. Did you just tried to implement your own microservice architecture without looking, asking around, reading docs, comparing libraries and frameworks and googling the hell out of it? I think not. The same goes for every feature you may be asked to build. There will be always a better solution by the time you think you have the answer in your mind and where is the right place to find it? By googling of course.

Also I use the mouse a lot. I tend to forget keystore combinations
