Seriously, are we so isolated in tech that we think Elon Musk is the worst human of 2023? Putin? Kim? Modi? Xi?
That's fair. At the same time I think that Elon Musk should spend some time in the total perspective vortex.
Too true.
Lacking in even a basic understanding of the world that they can only name Putin. So so many options!! American culture now is so insular that they can only tear themselves down for the smallest infraction.

I'm not American.
Back in time was lucky enough to participate into an Inclusive Design Workshop for three days. My views on developing products and services never been the same from that point, meaning opacity into developing just for active wealthy young targeted groups.
When I was an intern, another intern and I were tasked with improving the accessibility of an angular app (internal use) so that it meets an internal standard (it got tested in iterations against that standard)
Ever since then, I just can't unsee how inaccessible a lot of modern websites are, especially the modern fancy ones. I like to sometimes just test how easily navigable a website is with only a keyboard, how ready it is for screen-readers, color blind support, high contrast mode, etc
I know a lot of these are hard to implement and I don't blame developers for not bothering. But I do think it's quite sad, especially with how integrated the web has become in day-to-day life
I am no longer working on accessibility but when I am working on the frontend of my current project, I try to make it more accessible, at least for keyboard users and screenreader users, while trying to to spend too much time on so I can finish the issues planned for the current sprint, even though it is not a requirement or even a concern to the product owner.
