> do other software engineers write code so quickly that keyboard efficiencies really make a significant difference in productivity?
For anyone who tries to make their code as small as possible, the idea seems absurd. But lots of other things involve typing, like interacting with a REPL or terminal, or querying data. Typing can sometimes be a limiting factor there, especially when working with tools whose verbosity you don't control.
