Look ma, no hands! - How to program without using your hands
summary
A practical demo of hands-free coding that actually builds a small React app which fetches random facts and works on stage, using Talon voice for voice control, eye tracking for selection and cursor control, and a Vim keybindings plugin in VS Code with a phonetic alphabet for letters and commands. The workflow proves usable—code compiles and the button fetches facts—but is slower than typing, hard in open offices, tiring after long sessions, and sometimes flaky when the eye tracker or mic misbehave.
