Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.
Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

To bring an outside speaker in virtually for a meetup style talk to a development org (100 people), how much do people charge for that?
Going for a proposal and I have no idea where to start. Any insight much appreciated!
Also is trading an option here? 😅 I have a few topics to offer others 🥰

The quote tweets are why I push people to find developer communities.
If I hadn't had many excellent developers to go to for second opinions, I would have thought the rest of my dev career was going to be like that.

I've been called a DEI hire a lot.
Usually by the same people trying to prove my husband did my work because I can't be that good.

someone said to me "when u joined __ i saw what u looked like,it was like,wow,this is going to get interesting. and then i saw what u could do, and i now really respect ur technical work."
those who consider ppl that look like me a DEI hire need to introspect. every role i held i was hired on merit

I love the opportunity to share a11y knowledge- AI has a lot of potential, but accessibility requires intentionality to get it right, and AI isn’t there yet.
Everyone deserves to have all the info available to them no matter how they are interacting with the content. ❤️

Some platforms (Facebook) do use AI for alt text when none is provided. But it’s very flawed and usually missing context to help people connect the dots.
For example, I had a image of my foster dog, fawn and white pit mix, laying on his back getting belly pets while his head was in my lap.

So many leadership problems come from leaders trying to coach their employees to be more like them, when really your business and people can flourish from leaning on individuals where they shine. ✨

Continually, I keep hearing people thinking AI will be able to make their websites and apps accessible for them.
But consider for a moment: 96.3% of home pages had detected WCAG 2 failures in 2023.
If AI models are taught on the current web, those models will only echo the same biases that exist.
