Okay, if anyone else after reading Accessibility needs to be implemented from scratch felt ashamed, raise your hands with me. SW engineers suffer from assuming everyone is like them and there are no corner cases. My Mom was recently sued for violating ADA with her real estate website not working with screen readers well enough.
- draw_down 5y agoI’ve never worked somewhere that treated a11y as a feature, with the commensurate resources put towards implementing it. It’s always ignored and then sometimes maybe worked on as an afterthought, during a hackathon or whatnot. In other words, even when engineers are aware of it and inclined to do something about it, mgmt still has to care, and I’ve just never seen that once.
