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.

… where have I seen that before? Genius!
As a severe hearing impaired developer,
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.
