I'm not a deaf programmer, but I know a surprising number of them! It's a pretty solid career choice for deaf people, considering 98% of the job is doable without being able to hear anything. Thanks for doing transcripts :)

You know, I'm so dense sometimes. When I started doing transcripts, I was thinking "SEO", not "deaf people". Duh!

Never thought of it that way before. I bet it makes open-plan offices tolerable, too. Hmm.
