Comment on How to program if you are blind

Comments

I've wondered about this too, since I can't really picture myself doing any sort of programming without my vision. My problem is juvenile arthritis which came on when I was 12 and will probably leave me with another 8-10 years or so before the pain will be too unbearable to continue. I'll be around 40 then.

I really don't wanna program "Captain's log, supplemental" style. Besides, how does one do CamelCase with speech-to-text?

It's because of that and because I'm getting tired of tech, I've started to wean off programming into something more artistic, but won't require as much dexterity.

My guess would be tight integration with the IDE and knowledge of the language being used; most of the time, the editor should be able to figure out that chained, non-keyword or existing identifier words should be CamelCase. You'd need some manual way to disambiguate when it gets it wrong.
