Yes. At this point, recommending that a 9-5 programmer quit their job to work on an indie game is equivalent to suggesting a PR writer quit their job to write the next Great American Novel.

I might use that as my title for my partner case.

Automating (super dull financial industry department) is the industry of superstars

Really good writing style. So much info in such short, simple sentences.

Wow, keyboard-free programming.

It sounds both incredibly interesting and a little frightening. I'd hate to think of the kinds of metrics that might be applied to professional programmers.

Do I need to think of 260 different keys? Gonna take a while to practise that, and I feel like there is a separte mechanics processor to my core processing motor, so I can think and type at the same time; how do I make sure it’s the other one that brain-types?

What the author wants to read is probably a survey ...

Yes - most papers just present one idea, as part of a field.

Although, the original paper of an idea, I often find, has the most human-readable explanation. Pearl's 1986 paper of Bayesian Networks, Gauss' 1800-whatever paper on the normal distribution, the original bitcoin/blockchain paper by that Japanese-sounding name, etc. They're still trying to sell the idea so they really need to talk to the idiots.

The hammer that is still looking for a nail, since 1986.

Anyone seen one really be useful?
