Working in the field of accessibility engineering is tough on the soul. The challenges weigh on me. The hurdles are exhausting. Sometimes it overwhelms me and I consider switching to a different field. And then I remind myself that we must all advocate for inclusion, so I stay.

@marcysutton @photomatt It's really time that we move beyond "bolt-on accessibility support via audit" after a product has been designed, built and shipped. We lose the necessary degrees of freedom to build truly delightful experiences. Developers can't claim ignorance of this skill any longer.

Eventually you have so many tabs that looking for the tab with stuff you want is inefficient; it's easy to open a new tab and reload that stuff. This is the tab inflection point.

Front end development is not just pixel pushing. Front end development is experience building. Some experiences don't have a visual component. Some experiences are multi modal. If you got into FEE because you can "see" it, great, but remember that's just one mode.
