@eric@social.ericwbailey.website I asked the WhatsApp people if my various vibe-coded accessibility fixes to their web app would create thrash for them reviewing baby's first code, and the answer was that basically they were already doing that from everyone else, so, no.

@eric@social.ericwbailey.website I hadn't considered AI for accessibility before... It may plug an unfortunate gap I've seen, which is that developers really, really, really don't want to support a11y in most firms and management doesn't care enough to force the issue. But if an LLM can reduce the problem of identifying issues to one analysis pass... That's not a small thing. And I'm generally seeing LLMs are better at that than traditional heuristic approaches, because they end up trained on real-world examples of what goes wrong.
