I will ha.. strongly dislike your popup when: - Escape doesn't close it - Clicking the background doesn't close it - The close button is sized like this
An image with 2 panels. In the first it compares a tiny planet Mercury to the enormous sun. The second looks like the first, but in this case it's a tiny button to close a popup, and an enormous fingertip.

Code only becomes hard to generate when it's built on existing tech debt that was haphazardly designed. For the longevity of code, it needs to be readable, maintainable, and documented, otherwise you will neither be able to verify it or generate it without a full rewrite

Imagine following AI advice without a second opinion for the sake of “compliance” to avoid legal fines. I heard about a company having an enthusiastic blind customer reaching out about a11y issues. A coworker proposed hiring them. Sadly, the firm rather contracted an infamous a11y company instead.

Thrilled to see more tests for real-world `aria-label` exposure: www.maxdesign.com.au/articles/ari... But ARIA outlines what roles disallow `aria-label` (§5.2.8.3): w3c.github.io/aria/#nameca... So that second paragraph appears to be wrong. Sadly, no comment form. #ARIA #accessibility #a11y

Eventually writing code with more bugs in more places that are harder to fix will start to cause major problems that can't be ignored. People will learn the hard way the lesson that should've been obvious from the start: bugs are bad.

as a person who reads a lot and has been yelling for months about writers who don’t read, I wholeheartedly endorse Casey’s excellent advice—this bit especially. go to bookstores! go to the LIBRARY!
If you feel like you are not great at parsing a shelf, it's a skill worth developing as a reader.
There is nothing like going to find a book you reasonably believe you will like, and finding it standing among hundreds of similarly interesting books, because you are working with shelves and sections, and not lists and
"related"s. Again, of course, it doesn't mean you will like every book on that subject. But you might find you can pull a few more off the shelves. You don't have to actually read them all.
Skim them at a table, put them back on a book cart, take one or a few home to browse some more. Freedom!

Yes, but it isn’t recommended to do so because it can be a very poor user experience. They can make navigation confusing, require more keystrokes to explore layers, lack headers that are meaningful for each section, they can break row/column associations, and increase cognitive load dramatically.

A bald eagle is in flight, wings in an inverted W, diving down diagonally from the top right of the photo. A half moon is visible in the still blue sky.

This is such a powerful observation about why ableism is so inherent in U.S. society. From A Disability History of the United States by Kim Nielsen.
When disability is equated with dependency, disability is stigmatized. Citizens with disabilities are labeled inferior citi- zens. When disability is understood as dependency, disability is posited in direct contrast to American ideals of independence and autonomy.
In real life, however, just as in a real democracy, all of us are dependent on others. All of us contribute to and benefit from the care of others--as taxpayers, as recipients of public education, as the children of parents, as those who use public roads or trans- portation, as beneficiaries of publicly funded medical research, as those who do not participate in wage work during varying life stages, and on and on. We are an interdependent people. As his- torian Linda Kerber wrote, critiquing the gendered nature of the American ideal of individualism, "The myth of the lone individ- ual is a trope, a rhetorical device. In real life no one is self-made; few are truly alone."1 Dependency is not bad-indeed, it is at the heart of both the human and the American experience. It is what makes a community and a democracy.
