@polarbirke I hear that, and feel it. 🥲

I'm using the whole AI part of this to sell "make things accessible you dorks" to leadership (again), which isn't fun, but I'll do whats gotta be done I suppose

The wild thing is watching companies spend years ignoring accessibility (building div soup with misused ARIA) and now seeing AI models fail to understand their sites. Turns out AI can’t infer structure where none exists.

Minnesota is not the only place that ICE is terrorizing communities in, today several schools in south Seattle had to go into shelter in place because of ICE

The other aspect of this whole issue is the gaslighting.

We've been sold the narrative that AI is taking our jobs. But more evidence is indicating that is not true.

How can anyone be expected to thrive where we are under a very real threat, and being gaslit about it?

I heard that Meta did another round of layoffs.

If one thing can bring tech workers together in this moment its how sick we are of losing our jobs and our peers losing jobs, and always feeling like we might lose our jobs. For years.

I've seen many people leaving this field because of it.
