Comment on How to program if you are blind

Comments

You need either an amazing memory (to remember all the code), or a Braille screen that supports all those annoying signs like { }. The downside is going to be no code overview ... to help with that the braile reader should support | like ribbins: this way you can set the space/tab symbol to | (in programs like Vim). This will allow you to more easily follow indentations.

After thinking and writing about it, I'm more concerned about other applications, cause to write code you just need a text-editor. Browsing, Office, ... is going to a far more painful experience...
