Awesome! I love hearing about places making the effort to be inclusive. As someone who’s profoundly deaf myself, another less technical approach is to install Rogue Amoeba’s Loopback, and use it to pipe audio from a given app into a tool li

I'm confused: why is this article/headline focused on developers, when the report and its outcomes are explicitly focused on designers, who are Figma and Adobe's primary audience?

I've done something similar for product designer interviews in past roles and at my current company: rather than any variation of take-home or design challenge (which are unethical and unhelpful), we ask candidates to do a design criti

If an interviewer phrases a question this way, they're explicitly framing the conversation in such a way that the candidate is on the defensive and has to justify themselves in their response, and it highlights a power dynamic between

For me, it's a tough tradeoff between privacy and accessibility – without these tools, I have zero accessibility for audio-based mediums. My best bridge for now is Google Meet's captions, and when Meet isn't where the call&#x

I'm deaf as a post and rely on speech-to-text tools and features (Otter, Google Meet), usually paid, and constantly feel a sense of digital precarity: at any moment, these tools may be removed, changed, or experience outages, all which

My team’s been working on a new feature in Sourcegraph called code monitoring that can do things like this (and a whole lot more) with our search query language. It’s pretty simple: 1. Customise our starting point with the file of your choi

I'm a product designer, and I've adopted Excalidraw as a daily tool in my workflow. It's wonderful for quick iterative exploration and collaboration with the rest of my team. Like another commenter mentioned, the messiness—or
