Break your wrist on a bicycle ride so you only have one hand to type with and no immediate backup person to help out...
Yeah, I managed to do one heck of a number on my wrist, thankfully not my "strong" hand, but still...
Try doing all your typing with one hand...

you could get fancy and get the eye tracker with it, but the mouse works just fine
Nice one Jonathan!

Found that the eye tracker isn't working too well when sitting out on the balcony with the shades on 😉

I have cats who don't care if I'm in the middle of something important. They demand to be petted NOW. I've gotten fairly good at typing with one hand and petting with the other. Now try it with a keyboard layout that doesn't match what's printed on the keys. (I use the Dvorak keyboard layout rather than the standard QWERTY.)

Ugh, hope you feel better soon. Haven't broken bones (knock on wood), but I've had a few bad sprains and one handed typing sucks.
I tried Dragon software at one point and it worked well for writing, but not sure it would work for code at all.

Yeah, I forgot about Dragon. completely inconsistent, one time it would work perfectly and I'd feel like I was living in the future. Then it would be complete trash for a month, I'd rewrite more than I'd say. That was probably 5 or more years ago, maybe it's better now.

I love cats! I just can't eat a whole one in a single sitting. 😀

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

My wife worked for them for awhile. It's really, really good in domains. Doctors and medical pros use it and get 95%+ accuracy, measured as how many things an assistance or user needs to correct. That's pretty good, but if you think about typing 100 words and needing to fix 5, that's annoying.
With regular training, I think I got better than that for writing, probably 98-99%, but still had issues with the acronyms.
For us writing code. I think it would be a) very strange to spell out code, like we might with "period", "comma", etc. b) no good standard on how to approach this.

Well, I'm trying to use the buil-in MS speech-to-text on my personal PC for emails and such, and it's OK.
I think by the time I could get something similar enabled / approved and installed on my work PC, I'd have both hands again...
It's the weird shoulder twist I need to do to use the keyboard while keeping my arm elevated and resting on something that's going to drive me to distraction...

Took a couple of days off to start potty training and get back online this morning to discover my employer has designated Juneteenth to be a company holiday.
So, yay. People can attend vigils and protests on Friday.

That's great! I had already requested Juneteenth off for different reasons. I had planned on starting my birthday weekend by attending an online board game convention, but those plans changed when my identical twin brother had a heart attack. Now I'm going in for a cardiac stress test. And, to tie things back, the online board game convention was cancelled, because the parent company remained silent on Black Lives Matter, so the organizers quit in protest. To say nothing is to take the side of the oppressor.

I hope your brother gets better fast. I hope your stress test goes well.
And agreed on your last point. Silence is violence.

Gee Brandy, I would have thought that you would have been potty trained by now...

My brother had a stent put in and, in his words, he is doing "fantastic."
As for me, I'm optimistic. I think that my dancing has helped me to stay in better shape than my brother, and I've also cut out Coca Cola and most salt from my diet resulting in me losing 15 pounds since the start of quarantine. I've also been practicing reiki, which I find very much like meditation.
