Although, I might not have done it the right way. I deleted the account. I'm now wondering what the data cascade is looking like... Oops.

Excuse my typos and sometimes awful grammar. My fingers work faster than my brain does.

And now, how to put the brakes on a migration project...

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...

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.)

Nice one Jonathan!

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

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.

jonathan.crawford SSCertifiable Points: 6610 More actions · Answer 11

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...
