Emily Shea - "Perl Out Loud"

Developed RSI 15 years ago, tried all kinds of contraptions. Here's what helped me: - Kinesis Advantage keyboard w/ footswitch [LINK] - Ambidextrous mousing (one on each side, to split the load). Favor your PageUp / PageDown buttons over the evil mousewheel. - Lifestyle changes (biggest bang for the buck). Try to get at least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise in each day, e.g. running. - Proper ergonomic positioning This video from the article is a phenomenal demonstration of dictation coding: [VIDEO] Fun fact (or myth?): Your tongue is one of the few muscles in the body that can't get RSI. I played around prototyping a tongue-switch a while back using a flex sensor.

Yeah, when I saw Emily Shea's talk* I became aware of the accessibility-unfriendly code I normally put out. I still find myself writing bad code, but at least now I'm aware what to be aware of. * [VIDEO]

You can if you put in the work to set it up. There are two (nearly identical) talks by Emily Shea - Perl Out Loud [VIDEO] - Voice Driven Development: Who needs a keyboard anyway? [LINK]

Ha, I read the headline and thought it was "git by gesture". This is because I'd recently watched "Perl out loud", a talk this year by Emily Shea (2shea): [VIDEO]

Here's a video of someone discussing programming PERL by voice. I think I found it on HN in a different post months ago. [VIDEO]

[VIDEO] at 4:15 is when she plays the Perl Vista video (note the fiddling around video playing isn’t a fundamental issue with voice input, google slides with video embeds turned out to be pretty unreliable with keyboard input and I believe that was ironed out in her later talks)
