but what about programmers with problems hearing? An alternative of webcam video with sign language, pantomime and subtitles is needed!

edit: OOH! Use AI to generate the sign language videos. Could be wild, considering how good AI is at drawing hands.

As a severe hearing impaired developer,

Use AI to generate the sign language videos

hurt me in my fucking soul.

Always found it strange anyway when services make a sign language video instead of subtitles

Nah that's okay, it's like providing a dub instead of a sub, in the way it feels.

But not an AI generated one, please! Not with those 7-fingered hands! It'll be like a dub where someone's gurgling while dubbing it!

Maybe if you take LSD while watching it, the multi-fingered, multi-limbed speech will start to make some sort of divine sense...

Good point. I wonder if there was a way to like auto-transcribe these voice/video comments and automatically embed them in the source code so you have like a written-out comment that people could read.
