Ask HN: Programming with Multiple Sclerosis

by holistio on 7/17/24, 1:01 PM with 2 comments

A bright friend of mine is unfortunately suffering from MS. He used to tinker with software, but he is in a stage where moving his hands is painful and he cannot type anymore.

He would really like to continue programming, as his mind is as clear as ever.

Are there any tools that he could use? I know there are great tools for blind programmers, but couldn't find anything for people with limitations like his.

Thanks everyone!

    I'd be really curious to know if this could be use case for AI code generation tools using speech recognition. I don't know of any, but this could be very interesting.
