This is one reason why I never judge the people I work with. Wherever you are at your journey, the most important thing is that you actually started. Sure, you’ll make mistakes, but that’s why coaches are there, to guide you on your path.
Some accessibility people think our job is to punish developers and teams who make mistakes, but what we actually do is help them to be better. https://mastodon.social/@muan/113494844740565000

  Attached: 1 image 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.
