I'm a muggle when it comes to vim, but I've considered learning it again recently because of AI. I'm building more than I have in years because I love being able to try things out without investing 3 months to get something working before I can really test the idea. And so I am typing A LOT. Less code, but lots of markdown, prompts and config. My hands are hurting, I really wish I had a power tool for typing. Writing is always going to allow us to be more precise than speech, and is a tool for creative thought in its self. I can see how we might be bearish on our expectations around new adoptees, but I think there's pressure to get more out of our editors too. Two of my recent projects have been vscode extensions, because I'm needing more help from my editor, not less: https://www.appsoftware.com/blog/fixing-agent-llm-context-de..., https://www.appsoftware.com/blog/as-notes-turn-vs-code-into-...


Start using speech to text more. You likely have the hardware needed to run a Whisper model locally.


I will give a go. But my rambling mumblings to Gemini on my phone sor far confirm that I write with more clarity than I speak


I use SpeechNote with FasterWhisper and I've found it to be much better than any cloud dictation services I've tried (which, to be fair, is not a whole lot... they all suck so much that I give up fast).
