Great post as it made me realize how ignorant I am at times. The idea that it must be really hard to understand data visualization, graphs and some chunks of mathematics if you're blind has been in the back of my head but I never really thought about the real life implications.
Thank you for the post and the linked "Autobiography of a Blind Programmer".
I also noticed the "15 minute read" under the date. Haven't really seen that much but it must be pretty valuable if you're blind since you can't estimate the reading time from glancing at the scrollbar etc.
[Even though I guess this could be automated as a feature in screen readers with a wordcount?]
This quote from the end of the article is a fantastic general attitude towards life:
"""There are a few things I love about being blind. One of them is the need to carve out your own path most of the time."""
