I’m here at an A.I. agent authoring event all by myself. β€œI’m not here to make friends” I think to myself.

Or am I…?

Accessibility is the process of making something usable and worthwhile

Accessibility For Everyone by Laura Kalbag Read the book online for free.

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website.

accessibilityforeveryone.site

The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

Sure, it took me 8 months to get something working (in my spare time, mind you). But I got it. On their own or even as a pair, with all the documentation and references, they can't get a simple BLE Keyboard going.

This would be very interesting if the harm included accessibility defects

Is There Too Much Design in Design Systems? Why are we hiring so many designers? Most design system roles are design-focused, but the biggest value comes from code. Are we building design systems, or just designing them?

Why are we hiring so many designers?

I analysed 256 design system roles. The ratio of designers to engineers was telling. In my last team, we deliberately ran the inverse. If the biggest value comes from code, are we building design systems or just designing them?

Even AI can't get a #raspberryPi to be in portrait mode... What hope do the rest of us have?

For GameAccess we recently took a look at Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, that launched on mobile platforms following a PC and console release in 2024, which features a wide range of accessibility options!

An app is trying to force me into a "free trial" with no mechanism to opt out. I can't complete the desired journey as a result. I do pay for use of the app already. Does anyone know where to report this kind of thing?

So, let's see what we've learned so far.

"A.I." coding assistants produce better results ("value earned/tokens burned") when you:

* prompt with tests
* work in small feedback cycles with continuous testing, code review, refactoring and integration
* cleanly separate concerns in your code

LOL
