Yoshie is giving this talk together with Thomas
Web Accessibility has an interesting reputation: everyone agrees it matters, but somehow 95.9% of the top million home pages have detectable WCAG failures. It arrives late in projects, shrunk down to a checklist, handed to whoever happens to be standing closest to the code.
Yoshie and Thomas believe we deserve better. In their talk they look at accessibility through the lens of empathy: how we design, how we build, how we communicate. It's about responsibility without having to carry it alone.
