I once tried out a screen reader out of personal interest but gave up after an hour or so due to how frustrating the experience was. I couldn't find the right key combinations or had a hard time remembering them because there are so many and none of them seemed intuitive. I also accidentally toggled some option using the wrong keys and then other basic things stopped working with no apparent way to recover from that. My suggestion would be to improve the UX of screen readers for sighted developers, e.g. by adding a little bit of UI to access the most important features without having to study the tool for days.
