Tell HN: I am no longer worried about losing the use of my hands

10 pointsby elliotbnvl2 months ago
I have done well as a programmer. My biggest job-related concern has been sustaining an injury to my hands that prevents me from typing, which would prevent me from doing my job and end my career potentially.<p>With Cursor, Claude Sonnet 3.7 and OpenAI&#x27;s Whisper model, I am no longer worried about that.<p>I&#x27;m aware there are solutions for people with voice to text already, but they seem very challenging to learn to work with, and I always wondered if I&#x27;d have to patience to work with one if the time ever came. I&#x27;m good now!<p>Edit: I&#x27;m curious if anybody with hand-related disabilities has switched their workflow from one of the aforementioned tools to Whisper &#x2F; Cursor?

I was just thinking similarly about my eyes. I&#x27;m seriously considering LASIK or similar, but there&#x27;s plenty of anecdotes saying that it&#x27;s not as safe as the data suggests. So I&#x27;ve been planning for blind coding and such as a contingency against failure. These days you can also ask it to explain the file structure and such.
