I'm getting intense deja vu reading this. I remember a very similar article from 3-5 years ago. Even the title feels like I've seen it before. I thought this was a repost from that one but I remember the previous post had a photo of the author's desk with a keyboard, desktop, and no monitor.

I tried searching algolia, but I can't find it.

It was quite likely this one: https://www.vincit.com/blog/software-development-450-words-p...

Sadly the audio samples are gone. I'll need to pester someone to fix that.

I thought you meant they were 404, but no, it seems there's no markup to even attempt to link them. What's strange is that all the copies in Wayback that I spot checked all the way back to 2022 also didn't have any markup, so I suspect it never(?) did

Yes, that's the one. Thanks! And thanks for writing it, assuming you're the author.

I'm not, the author was my colleague at the time. I can only hope to be half as brilliant as him.

First time I saw it was here, https://boingboing.net/2017/08/28/this-blind-software-develo...

It has the audio samples in case it's useful

It looks like it's not the article you were looking for, but there was also this similar article about one of the original authors of NVDA, who hits 900 WPM, also including an audio sample: https://www.9news.com.au/national/the-secret-language-only-b...
