@fossheim@front-end.social Oh yeah, I got it but I like to get that stuff out there, crystal clear, for anyone who’s on the fence about the meaning.
Many years of auditing have left me an empty shell. People wonder why accessibility specialists are often very angry. In between having to keep telling people the same basic shit over and over, and being constantly forced down the backlog while React devs create even more inaccessible tech debt. It’s fucking exhausting.
