When I first started learning about accessibility, I realized that I had six design biases and habits that I needed to overcome before I could start delivering on accessibility. Here is my story about how to spot them and make improvements. bootcamp.uxdesign.cc/design-biases-…

"Leader" is usually just a euphemism for "manager" or "boss." The whole concept is corrupt. I don't want to be led. Sorry. I want to work collaboratively with people who I respect. Organizations do not need "leadership." They need trust and respect and collaboration.

If it is not accessible then it is not usable. #AccessibilityIsUsability

As an artist couldn’t agree more that for digital design: usability and accessibility are more important than aesthetics. But business goals are even more important as wouldn’t make sense to create a beautiful, usable, accessible site that no one needs.

Oposite things from military power that have greatest long term power: respect, leadership, tolerance, love, friendship, fraternity, solidarity, collaboration, unity, loving life, helping others, embracing difference and critical mindset.

Accessibility checkers can't replace having a trained team on accessibility.

Even if you feel like you know a lot, someone might know more, so don't forget to stop and listen. But even if you feel like you don't know much, the people around you might know even less. Don't let fear of doing something imperfectly stop you from doing it at all.

One of the most valuable results of design research is finding new questions. This benefit confuses and terrifies people who have built their reputation on appearing to always have the right answer at hand.

We don’t need to be experts in accessibility in order support it. What matters is that ‘users’ are actually humans and access -same as privacy- is a human right.

If you see the need to do one thing, and the framework says that you should do another thing, trust yourself. No framework is universally applicable. Don't work for the framework - make it work for you. This is the only way to advance from rote expertise to adaptive expertise.

Complete this thought with your replies... Accessibility didn't cost extra because it's accessibility. It cost extra because you:

"Do it in small pieces and talk to each other" That's pretty much what Agile is. It's not complicated.

In 5th grade, my teacher told me: when you try to write really quickly, your handwriting is not legible. If you slow down to write clearly, you'll get faster and faster with practice. This is a subtweet for teams focusing on shipping and velocity over value.

Being productive is not the same as being effective. Learning this was one of my biggest struggles when I transitioned to product management. Checking items off a list feels productive but it’s not effective. Effectiveness is staying focused on tasks that drive customer value.
