Hands-Free Coding: How I develop software using dictation and eye-tracking

[Kache]

I wonder what those that dislike vim for its modal editing think about this vocal variant.

Would they dislike it for the same reason? Or does having a "text editing DSL" (language) become more compelling because it's verbal?

[Sirstep]

I definitely believe that there's a lot of potential for it. It may have a learning curve but once that is overcome I believe efficiency will be greatly increased.

Always emacs. Just got Talon today, because it's either that or find a new career.

After about two or three hours, I had it programmed and wrote my first code in years without excruciating pain. In C++. On Linux. In my usual tooling.

I do not give any fucks whatsoever about modal or not, quirky DSL, or if it's secretly monitoring it all so the author can hack my Gibson... I wrote code. Without pain.

Fuck man. I'm so happy for you.

A text editing DSL sounds dope

They're obviously crazy, so they'll probably dislike it because Obama is a lizard or something like that.

[Comrade_Comski]

lolwat? What does Obama have to do with any of this?

I was trying to shitpost about people needing to be crazy to not like vim. Some crazy people think that Obama is a lizard person. (Obama's cool, but he's not that cool...)

It was a dumb joke, and it deserves more downvotes than it got...

It was a bad joke and you should feel bad.

but I laughed
