A new typing speed test designed specifically for developers has launched at haxxorwpm.0s.is and gained traction on Hacker News with 16 points and 10 comments. The tool focuses on code-specific typing challenges including symbols, brackets, and syntax patterns that standard typing tests ignore.

Unlike traditional WPM tests that use prose, this developer-centric version presents real programming constructs across multiple languages. Users can practice typing common code patterns like function declarations, object literals, and control structures. The test measures both raw speed and accuracy on characters that developers type daily.

Early feedback from the Hacker News community suggests the tool fills a genuine niche. Commenters noted that standard typing tests don't reflect the heavy symbol usage in programming. Some requested features like language-specific modes, Vim keybinding support, and detailed error analysis per character type.

The project appears to be a side project shared via Show HN. Its minimalist design and focused purpose resonated with developers looking to improve their coding velocity. No commercial affiliation or monetization is evident from the discussion.
