Go for it @gingkapls
Could you edit the issue name to better reflect the new planned action? Since it's no longer about the AR removal
from curriculum.
Personally I find the current language perfectly fine.
First its in additional resources which is always "optional", second it says "If you find your typing speed is holding you back", which lets the learners gauge for themselves.
To your point about typing speed not being a bottleneck, I think generally it won't, but there are certainly cases where it could be (technical interviews, coding assessments, etc).
from curriculum.
I think the advice about improving your typing speed is actually quite important. Improving your typing speed is only going to help in my opinion. I don't see any reason for this to be removed.
from curriculum.
I personally don't feel too strongly about the current wording of that AR, especially because like others mentioned, it's an AR and not an assignment or otherwise in the main lesson contents. Don't think it needs to be removed. It's a fun little thing people like to improve on and getting more familiar with a keyboard just in general can help you use it better when programming, so it's not bad at all.
That being said, I wouldn't be opposed to a little "softening" of the wording to mention the real bottleneck, such as (suggestion only):
While thinking and research time is a bigger bottleneck than raw typing speed, if you'd like to practice your typing skills then some excellent options include typing.com, TypingClub.com and Monkeytype.
If you're happy to make this sort of change @gingkapls then I can assign this to you.

Yeah, after seeing the responses I think it has a greater benefit than I had assumed, and that it has a place in the lesson.
I still believe that we could use a little change in the wording, and if you feel so too I'd be glad to work on it.
