I started doing accessibility at GitHub when it had a flat structure (2013) and no one was telling me what to do. In my free time I will just browse the issue backlog and find things I could do. Eventually, I found that there are tons of accessibility issues that are just stale, and a lot of them were just like: this icon button isn’t labeled. I looked at them and thought oh that’s easy. I will fix it. At one point I added so many aria-labels that AT users got mad that they’re getting misused. image
I only recently learned that Figma doesn’t do CMYK export (official response suggests a paid 3rd party plugin) and also doesn’t support turning off anti-aliasing when exporting PNGs. What do people use instead for these things if not Adobe?
Oh my god shocking. From the company that told me they only hire the best therefore there’s no women on the engineering team then lowballed me only to double their offer after I negotiated. Who would have known! image
