Fwd: Does anyone on here read code in braille?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Another reason to avoid contracted braille is if you are asked to code 
some application where spacing must line up exactly contracted braille 
will distort your spacing where computer braille will distort far less.

I assume "computer braille" but I am wondering if contracted braille would help with the longer lines of code...  Any tips on how to develop better braille skills would be appreciated too as I'm self-teaching.
