Wow I can't believe they deepfaked all the dumb stuff I supposedly said on the internet going all the way back to the 1990s

Monday? Again?

If you got this far and are a software engineer who wants to get involved in making the web just a tiny bit more accessible, I’ll provide you one tip. Do not immediately reach for some form of automation. Every dev I’ve met who wants to learn about accessibility, squirrels away and comes back to me with a goal to fully automate accessibility testing through some automated tool or a whole new suite of cypress tests. Instead, talk to people. Understand their barriers. I don’t want you to disaapear for a week and come back having written a post about how you realised how bad the web was after using a screen reader for forty eight hours. It’s a good insight, but you’re not a screen reader power user, and it’s just one more “wow, being disabled is hard???” blog post to add to the pile.

I'm at the point where people complaining about projects that are underfunded & consequently understaffed not moving "fast enough" is just going to start resulting in blocks. I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with you because thing's didn't happen at your pace. Seriously, these projects take an absolute tonne of work. You want stuff to move faster, start throwing money at it so people can dedicate full time towards doing things.

been a busy weekend preparing for LincolnHack https://2024.lincolnhack.org .. I easily forgot how so good for my sense of belonging being deep in the tech community (behind the scenes or otherwise) is ❤️ #techcommunity

I've just been accused of missing the "nuance" of what's happening in Gaza. Can anyone explain to me the nuance of killing tens of thousands of people, most of them children?
