I'm very sympathetic to this, but I think you go too far with the conclusion!
If we did figure out drawing or writing without hands, I think that would be a noticeable, but still small improvement.
Much like with coding, the insight/information /s rate is very rarely keyboard limited.
A good programmer switching to Vim may help them a bit, and it can be a strong enough effect that lots of people will want to switch to better tools like Vim
But I doubt there's room enough in there to extract a whole new enlightenment from :)
- nmfisher 6y agoProblem solving isn't keyboard-limited, but actually creating the solution definitely is. Once I know what code needs to be written, I still need hours to actually type the damn thing out (not to mention the constant typos, deletions, reformatting, and so on). One of my loftier startup ideas is a Neuralink-PC interface that projects the code in your head to code on a screen. I really hope I see it in my lifetime.
- tux3 6y agoAgree, but I find that I spend more hours problem solving than creating. But that maybe says more about me than about anything else! I hope so too, please don't let me stop you! :)
- hinkley 6y agoI don't actually have to draw pictures in my mind. It's more akin to remembering in the dark where the coffee table is so I don't bark my shin. But I know that other people do not work this way, so 'draw myself a picture' is still a gating condition on writing the code.
