I'd been dealing with an RSI issue for about six years and had largely given up programming because of it, seeing no way around—then had an idea for a new kind of code editor that would let me program with motion sensors instead of seated with mouse + keyboard: http://symbolflux.com/projects/tiledtext http://symbolflux.com/projects/tiledtext Once I was far enough in I saw the tech could be generalized beyond my own personal use case (it is vaporware though, never got the level where others could use it)—but 99% of the drive was just making something so that I personally could code without pain again.

You may also be interested in Desktop Linux, without a keyboard, mouse or desk[0] presented by Shervin Emami at Linux.conf.au in 2020. I can't remember if that spoke directly to programming entirely by voice control, or it led me down the rabbit warren of other videos and resources.

  I didn't go the voice route because I'd read stories about people messing up their vocal chords that way—but it's something that could be looked into more closely for sure. (This was also 2006 - 2012; the voice packages I tried then were rough, surely improved now. Then again, my RSI issues area nearly absent now :)
