I just made an optician's appointment, which I've been putting off for a while. 😞
Making it 29 years in the software industry without glasses seems like a reasonable innings. (I was needing to use A11y "large text" settings on this desktop, which suggested it might be time...)

@… @… Also, to add on: I’ve noticed that clicking or tapping anywhere in a `tabindex="-1"` zone moves your focus to the top of that zone, which:
a) Means you can’t click in the contents to prime where focus should go next (always …

Big tech is laying off user researchers in droves, because it believes that coercing its customers is more profitable than silly things like "making good products people want to buy."
But now the FAFO pendulum is coming around, with Amazon's $2.5B dark pattern settlement and #a11y lawsuits galore.

My friend Mayank is looking for their next role! If you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff when it comes to design system and accessibility, reach out to them - they’d be a great fit for you…

Accessibility is not a popularity contest and open surveys aren’t research.

I can tell you that the survey results do not reflect my approach:

Gotta love how quickly pull request best practices get abandoned the moment accessibility work is involved.

I picked up new glasses today, the first time I've ever needed them (though have probably been in denial for the last few years)
On the plus side, I was able to turn off the a11y "large text" option on the desktop and I can now fit *and see* a zillion terminal windows.

Content warning: web access design, state of play
Excellent article from @…, including both an overview and illustrative examples.
As an occasional web-tinkerer, I couldn't fully understand the web design details like a professional would. But from the parallels with event organising, I can tell that the overall vibe is spot-on: don't treat access as an afterthought which can be tacked on later, build it in from day 1.
"If you don't know enough about disabled users to understand their needs: find out. Knowing enough about accessibility to know when to seek out specialist guidance, and to understand it when you get it, should be a core competency for standards engineers. ...
"Getting this right requires a bit more work up-front, but – just as it is with front-end development – ultimately saves potential years of clean-up work (or having to scrap projects after years of effort), as well as avoiding harming disabled users."
