Can't recommend the course enough. I went through it twice. It's a really good course for anyone thinking about accessibility work as well as those who just need to refresh their skills.

I am very pleased to have my copy of Digital Accessibility Ethics delivered this weekend after much anticipation. Super excited to dive in over the next couple of weeks. I've been steadily growing my shelf with some of the latest publications on #digitalaccessibility and #inclusivedesign 📚

Array of books stacked on each other including Inclusive Design for Accessibility, Design for All Learners, and on top: Digital Accessibility Ethics

Absolutely great time last week at the Pinellas Tech Network & Tampa Devs event. We covered architecture, performance, product, accessibility, AI, and how to stay ahead in our very quickly evolving industry. Trying to get to more grassroots events in 2026 and see actual humans. #tampa #developer

Seeing some buzz around the Block layoffs. Executives may perceive layoffs as the result of “AI increasing productivity” or “doing more with less". AI wasn't the reason, bad company practices were. This AI demonization is an easy scapegoat but shouldn't cover the real issue of mismanagement.

Jack Dorsey tweeting the reasons for laying off a tremendous percentage of his staff, justifying it with covid hiring. Full post: "yes we over-hired during covid because i incorrectly built 2 separate company structures (square & cash app) rather than 1, which we corrected mid 2024. but this misses all the complexity we took on through lending, banking, and BNPL. and that we're now targeting $2M+ gross profit per person, 4x our pre-covid efficiency, which stayed flat at ~$500k from 2019 until 2024. we have and do run an efficient company... better than most."

For the ‘cheap’ price of $20,000 you can buy a robot that listens to your conversations and fold your laundry. I do wonder how this market will continue to expand and if there will be adjacent markets that pop up for customizations, accessories, and software. What a time to be alive.
