  • The thing with accessibility, not only when it comes to software development but for nearly every aspect of life, is, if you’re not handicapped or dependent on accessibility in another way, it isn’t really in scope of your thinking. And in some way you can’t blame people. I am not blind, but my SO is. And before I met my partner I didn’t think about or cared for accessibility either. Only now that I am affected by the huge lack of accessibility in our world, because some things are just impossible to do or use for my SO without help of someone able to see, it became part of my thought processes. And adding to this is the fact that integrating accessibility is firstly a cost factor, sadly.
