Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?
3270 points|zachrip|2 years ago|473 comments
I'm a 24 y/o full stack engineer (I know some of you are rolling your eyes right
now, just highlighting that I have experience on frontend apps as well as
backend architecture). I've been working professionally for ~7 years building
mostly javascript projects but also some PHP. Two years ago I was diagnosed with
a condition called "Usher's Syndrome" - characterized by hearing loss, balance
issues, and progressive vision loss.

I know there are blind software engineers out there. My main questions are:

- Are there blind frontend engineers?

- What kinds of software engineering lend themselves to someone with limited
vision? Backend only?

- Besides a screen reader, what are some of the best tools for building software
with limited vision?

- Does your company employ blind engineers? How well does it work? What kind of
engineer are they?

I'm really trying to get ahead of this thing and prepare myself as my vision is
degrading rather quickly. I'm not sure what I can do if I can't do SE as I don't
have any formal education in anything. I've worked really hard to get to where I
am and don't want it to go to waste.

Thank you for any input, and stay safe out there!

Edit:

Thank you all for your links, suggestions, and moral support, I really
appreciate it. Since my diagnosis I've slowly developed a crippling anxiety
centered around a feeling that I need to figure out the rest of my life before
it's too late. I know I shouldn't think this way but it is hard not to. I'm very
independent and I feel a pressure to "show up." I will look into these
opportunities mentioned and try to get in touch with some more members of the
blind engineering community.
