Amazon CodeWhisperer vs. Serenade.ai

I've met several engineers who have temporarily lost their ability to use the mouse / keyboard. But its more than an accessibility tool. Being able to simply say "Refactor this method to iterate over the collection as a collection of promises and await all promises after the iteration."... and then get that done, was amazing.

• Voice assisted programming
• Voice assisted computer navigation
• AI Assisted deveopment

• The voice recognition takes some getting used to. Just like using a new keyboard, you get used to what you need to over-enunciate or be really clear on. Being able to train the model / interpreter they are using on my voice, tonation, dictation, accent, etc would be a major benefit.
• Having to have a clear picture in your head about the code you want to write is a mental challenge. But this is more of a challenge of the process than the application. I found littering the code I wanted to refactor with #todo comments and then asking Serenade.ai to implement the series of comments to be the best method of planning and then implementing the code.

Until very recently, there was nothing on the market which allowed you to code with voice with the accuracy that Serenade.ai provided. Even now there is nothing that I'm aware of that allows you to interface with your ENTIRE PC/Mac with your voice.

• I was able to continue my engineering position, earning salary, without taking disability until after my surgery. During that time I was able to continue to participate.
