What happened?

FAQ

What did Simon Willison build by voice?

He built his blog's newsletters index page: a Django model and migration, view pages, four import scripts from Substack and GitHub, and search integration.

Is voice coding a replacement for typing?

No. Willison sees it as ideal for multitasking and quick iteration, but he switches back to typing for details, errors and pasted examples.

Should MENA teams adopt voice-driven coding now?

It can help with routine coding tasks, but teams need a private workspace since talking to a computer is impractical in shared offices, and should verify Arabic-language support in voice tools.
