and why is this banality interesting to a hacker?

• maxbond 3y ago
  Accessibility is an important part of software design. I also found it compelling rather than banal (and clearly I'm not the only one, given the 200+ upvotes and deeply personal comments people have shared). The audience for a given Hacker News article is the people who show up and find it interesting, rather than some platonic ideal of a Hacker News user. Participating in a system based on voting (such as HN) means accepting you won't always get your way. There are stories on the front page that aren't inappropriate/flaggable but which I would rather weren't there every day.

  Try to move with wheels in a world built for people with legs. You have to hack your way. Or you thought hacking was a computer thing only?

    It should be completely apparent im not criticizing accessibility issues but instead the blog post, which resembles a revelation a 10-year old has when having had a bit too much cough medicine
