Off topic, and I hope it doesn't cause offense, but Im very curious; what do you find to be good domains to work with as a blind developer? As a nonblind web developer whose domain is highly visual, I'm sometimes irrationally worried that I'd be out of a job if my vision went for one reason and another, and it gets me speculating about what the programming life is like for blind developers. Other visual aspects that I'd maybe worry about are graphical presentations made by other parties in my org.

I've done a lot of web API development in both legacy applications and micro services. It's pretty accessible since I don't need to rely n a UI and can use CURL.
I know a blind man who works at Google and sometimes does 3D graphics programming.
That's a modern day Beethoven :) That's awesome. I think a lot of folks would find that amazing to read about!
