I'm currently learning to code for the first time, and it is a bit more of challenge than what I imagine it might be fore a non dyslexic person. It took me awhile to find a typeface that agreed with my eyes, and I think Lucida Sans Typewriter is good as it differentiates the vowels very nicely. A strong commenting system also helps. Hacker News is great though, so many smart people to learn from. I mostly try to be quite in the comments and just listen... But I don't see myself ever being an engineer, as I focus more on 'creative' work.
