“Instead of talking about hard skills and soft skills, let’s actually call them what they are. One set of skills is technical skills, skills for dealing with technology and technical problems And one set of skills is human skills, things for dealing with humans.” 🎥 @kball https://youtube.com/shorts/mNHX-QlHAlg

When I repeatedly am asked “Why accessibility though? What’s the business case?” I get cranky (but I’m working on that). It’s the law. Why do I have to argue a business case for anyone to *checks notes* not break the law?? Yes there is a whole ‘nother aspect where it shouldn’t have had to become a law in the first place but FFS.

The same sort of pattern can show up with something like being trans or gay. Anything that society stigmatizes, despite it being a thing a person is born with or otherwise has no control over. If people are punished for being themselves, they hide themselves. They break themselves to fit into the mold. 4/4

If you have had an adult family member or friend that was recently diagnosed with a previously unknown developmental psychological disorder (ADHD, autism, etc), you might have noticed something that confused you. Right around the time they were diagnosed, maybe even a bit before, they "suddenly" began to exhibit symptoms when never had before. You might be like, "I've known this person for X years and they never behaved like this." You might even think they are "acting" or something. 1/4

The truth is exactly the opposite. Anyone that's "different" in our culture learns very quickly to hide their differences. The world punishes anyone who's different — usually not explicitly, but by enforcing expectations that cannot be met. People start doing what's known as "masking" — they hold back their true selves and maintain an appearance of normalcy by any means. Usually masking is driven by guilt, shame, and anxiety, and it often leads to burnout or worse. It takes a toll on people. 2/4

Your friend or family member hasn't started acting for "attention" or to get a medication or whatever. They've *stopped* acting. The person you *thought* you knew was only a façade constructed for protection . You only saw the armor they put on everyday, not them. Now that they've learned their differences aren't "their fault" or because "they are broken" or whatever, they can let their guard down. For maybe the first time in their life, they aren't forcing themselves to be who they aren't. 3/4

Are you ok in there? I couldn't help but notice that you've been in the screaming closet a little longer than usual. There's a line out here

This video should've been a blog post

Observation: if you're someone who angrily rants about how terrible a bunch of software is: chances are extremely high you've never actually built any notable software used by non-trivial amounts of people. It's almost as if reading many many people shredding your work to pieces on the internet makes you mildly less inclined to do the same to others. Who could have guessed?

OH: A coworker just shared a term she uses to describe meetings that go astray when certain coworkers bloviate. “Non-consensual TED talk.”

It takes 12,000 plays on Spotify for a band to make the same as you buying one of their T-shirts.

No Nut November has well known connections to fascist ideologies. Therefore it is your solemn duty to have as many orgasms as possible this month. Start masturbating and never stop to combat white supremacy and patriarchal ideals of purity

API designers and developers, you have to check out Redocly CLI. It’s replaced the old abandonware Speccy which handled linting and bundling, and completely obsoletes Swagger CLI which I’ve thankfully deprecated. #API #OpenAPI #REST #APIDesign https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/redocly-cli/

Everyone thinks, haha, these squirrels don't even remember where they hid 90% of the nuts they store for the winter they are so dumb, but nobody ever asks if the squirrels might be out there thinking, my ancestors planted this forest that provides for us all, and my children's children will know the same of me.

@moondog548@nerdculture.de Yeah, mind you, the only folks we prosecute are the ones who steal from the rich. Stealing from the poor is called “the business model.”

they say autistic people take things literally but they're thinking of kleptomaniacs
