My ultimate goal is to become an accessibility engineer, learning swift development so I can help fix iOS problems rather than just complaining about them. I've successfully hand coded an HTML website using voiceover and textedit, and have been working my way through the swift playgrounds and have been figuring out Xcode, but can't wait to actually learn everything in a proper development environment.

Personally I wish that screen-readers were easier to use for coding, because as it stands, coding with a screen-reader is akin to coding with an editor without syntax highlighting or code completion and that only displays one character at a time. Screen-readers are good enough for basic tasks such as posting to reddit because they are designed to read plain English, however code is not plain English and has too many symbols that we must be aware of. I know that there are blind programmers out there, but personally I find that coding with a screen-reader imposes way too much mental drag forcing me to focus into actually understanding the code that I'm listening to rather than concentrating on the programming problem itself.
