When it comes to coding, I think it’s more important to know that something is possible, than to be an expert at doing it. There’s a lot of things I’m slow at doing, but as long as I know it’s possible, I always figure it out. Google it up as my friend always says. :)

The fastest growing company that claims to use AI to make the internet accessible for blind people is actually making it harder for them to access websites, sources say. That’s a huge concern for disability justice advocates. My latest nbcnews.com/tech/innovatio…

As I get back into #TidyTuesday this was a great call to action: providing alt-text is part of the communication process. What makes good alt-text? Tell us what type of plot it is, explain the variables on the axes and the scale, and reveal the meaning in the data.
