> typing non-stop for 24 hours at something like 100 characters per minute

Not only that. It would be typing at that speed without testing anything. In assembly. Haha. In reality what would happen is that you would type 24 hours (not in one day, I assume) and then spend the next days finding the places where you wrote R5 instead of R4.

And, of course, without losing any time on refactoring already written code (changing order of parameters, finding a better name for a function, etc.)
