The advantages of being a blind programmer (Changelog Interviews #206)


Listen Later

Parham Doustdar is a blind programmer and joined the show to talk about the advantages he has being a blind programmer, the tools he uses, why he had to quit school, and carving your own path.

Note: We couldn’t stop using visual words when talking with Parham — even he couldn’t help himself. So you’ll get to hear us all laugh at ourselves near the end.
