I stopped typing my emails in 2019 and now fully use dictation.I'm aware it's not the most efficient system - but it makes e-mail a lot more fun & enjoyable.Since then, every once in a while - in an act of over-optimism, I switch on VoiceControl and attempt to get rid of my mouse and keyboard for all my other tasks.And every time, it's completely unusable (even e-mail)...You would think...

I understand the point he’s trying to make, but that doesn’t make the point not stupid.

(I read 80% of the article. It’s pretty well written. Still don’t recommend, waste of time...)

There is finite number of things that are devilishly bad and incredibly genius at the same time.

I'm a Project Manager & Operations Responsible at a Healthcare SME in Switzerland. My technical abilities are limited to Python & Swift (Amateur, Self-taught).

I browse HN daily for the interesting articles and comments. For the total disconnect it has with politics & non-helpful BS.

I use it to always have one foot inside the pool of technology development.

It's the only place where you never know what you'll learn next.
