No. Nor do I look at my fingers when I'm playing a guitar or flute.
Typing, however, was meant to be done by secretaries.

Should I dictate my code and have a secretary type it up?

I wonder which is faster, speaking it or typing it. Depends how good
your fingers are with the odd chords needed to get the brackets.
