Communities like this (rblind.com) and r/blind are focused on serving the blind and visually impaired community, including friends and family. They’re also valuable as an opportunity for people outside the community to learn about the blind experience.

That brings us to the question: sighted friends, what have you learned that you’d like to share?

    @MostlyBlindGamer I’ve been surprised that blind programming is such a thing, because I’ve always considered programming so visual. But maybe that’s more about how I perceive it.

      Having worked a bit with LabView, I’d almost agree, but isn’t it also like writing a letter to the compiler or interpreter?

      A lot of the design, architecture, and algorithm work can be done in a very visual way, but it’s also a kind of storytelling.
