> I've been totally blind since birth.

Please forgive me for the naive question, I'm probably full of misconceptions about blindness, but out of pure curiosity, how do you read and write so well without seeing? Is the technology so advanced today? Are you using a screen reader and a regular keyboard? (e.g. typing and than playing it via the reader) how do you know if you made a typo? (e.g. who's and whose sound the same)

You really didn't have any typos, and as well your indentation and styling are perfect (much better than me but I'm not a native English speaker)

Can you read and write code without seeing? Are there any blind programmers that you know of.

again asking out of pure naivety

tl;dr, I'm impressed with your reading and writing considering that you said your are totally blind, and curious how do you do it. (I always was afraid of going blind for some reason, and afraid I will never be able to write code again)
