Interview with a blind developer on how he works (2017)

The author is a blind software developer working at Vincit offices in Tampere, specializing in full stack web projects with a focus on backend, as well as serving as a general accessibility consultant. Using a screen reader, the author navigates through tasks on a normal laptop running Windows 10, coding by reading line by line, abstracting code in mind when needed, and emphasizing the importance of clean coding styles. Surprisingly, the author prefers IntelliJ IDEA over other editors due to accessibility concerns. While frontend development is not visual for the author, libraries like Bootstrap help lay out user interfaces. The author also hints at future posts on making web pages more accessible.
