Cursorless is fantastic, this saved my bacon last year when I couldn't use my hands for months. I donate to Pokey because I'll need this again in the future, though right now I'm typing okay.

I think able-bodied programmers will probably get annoyed setting it up, setting talon up, learning the phonetic alphabet and basic commands, but like.. if your hands don't work, this can literally save your career. this is a disability aid for creating things, it's vital and empowering!

the hard part IMO is getting back into the coding headspace you had when you could type. it's different speaking code, formatting it in your head before you say command phrases. everything's a little awkward, you can't get into the zone the same way.
