I work part-time and I am also an electrical engineering graduate student. I often watch lectures while exercising, for example, and simultaneously take notes.
I use two methods for coding/typing/notes: voice and specialized keyboard. I generally use a specialized braille keyboard, that I can sweat on, however I do wear gloves (see: https://www.atguys.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_54&products_id=317 https://www.atguys.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_inf...).
I know multiple braille codes backwards and forwards, and I generally use a standard 8-key braille keyboard to type English language, computer code, and math. I have a print-related disability, that does not affect visual acuity, but does affect my ability to read (severe convergence insufficiency). So, when working and exercising, I use text to speech feedback when typing with braille code.
For coding with voice I use Dragon Naturally Speaking and VoiceCode (https://www.voicecode.io/ https://www.voicecode.io/). For math and voice I use Mathfly (https://mathfly.org/ https://mathfly.org/).
