I think assistive tech is awesome but we should so use it to learn. Instead of slowly looking up stuff in API docs and typing it out, running the compiler slowly to let it tell me I have a typo in a long method name I have an IDE with completion and it tells me right away if I did mistype something I didn't autocomplete.
But I should use this to learn too. Learning by doing. Autocomplete to find the method that I need and next time I remember the name already and I don't have to find it in an autocomplete list I type the unique part and autocomplete the rest. I just gained efficiency and I would also be able to program without the assistive tech when needed.
Like making use of the fact that I could walk to the grocers or bike and use that to work out naturally while getting fresh air. But if it rains I'll take the car. No need to pay a fitness studio.
