Re: Using Voice to Code Faster than Keyboard
#2My counter-argument to voice-driven coding has been primarily around the input bandwidth and the fact that you must work from home with that kind of setup.
I guess the presenter conducted the "faster than the keyboard" test under very controlled circumstances (e.g. only working on his own code, so one doesn't have to deal with non-english-word variables/functions).
I don't mean to be a hater, because that was an _amazing_ demo, but I don't believe it's the holy grail the title implies it is.

#3That was a fun talk to watch. Someone should try something similar using some kind of brainwave detecting glass gear to make it possible to code by simply thinking. That'd be awesome.

#4I wonder if we should also be voice coding in a language drastically different then for example, C++? Maybe a language more syntactically friendly for voice?

#5Amazing, but the cubical farm is noisy enough as it is.

Or, you have a private office with a door that closes.

#7~99% of my time coding is spent working through the stuff in my head
Now if they could optimize that...

At that point why not cut out the coding altogether? Just visualize the output and there it is.

the day the average programmer gets an office, well...
I don't even get a cube where I work

#10I guess it depends on the type of software you're working on, but input speed has never been close to being the bottleneck with coding for me...
Most of the time I'm trying to figure out what to do or how to implement an algorithm. Rarely do I get those mad-scientist frenzies where I'm typing away frantically trying to get all the words down as they come into my mind in a flash of inspiration.
