No typing for 2 weeks. That's what my surgeon told me, before I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in all of my fingers at 38 years old. For more than 2 years now I've been on a mission to type as little as possible and get even more work done using assistive technology, including AI. In this session, I'll summarize the hard-earned lessons from my attempts to use technology including laser eye tracking, facial gestures, foot pedals, Talon Voice, OS-native dictation and accessibility features, custom split mechanical keyboards, code scaffolding, automated tests, and AI. Then I will give a live demonstration of the assistive devices and tools I use today to save time, money, and lives with PHP at Texas Transportation Institute by creating a simple and tested API from public data using Laravel Blueprint.
