Most chatbots exclude users with disabilities.
That’s a design failure, not a user issue.
You must add keyboard navigation, screen reader labels, and clear text instructions.
Skip this, and you’re locking out millions.
Do you test your chatbot with real users—who use assistive tech?

As a black woman in tech #addtoblacksky also I don’t know what all the drama is surrounding afrotech. It was a great conference with plenty of info and networking and I’m sure hookups, that always happens though at every conference. Get off of black women so hard because this is normal behavior….

AWS deployment fighting me so I switched to Netlify serverless functions and learned a whole new thing.
My favorite part of developing is failing at the original plan and stumbling into something better 😭

I’m a marine biologist who studies sharks and how to protect them. That’s me on the right from a few weeks ago.
I’m always happy to answer any questions anyone has about sharks, ocean science and conservation, and more!

Can’t wait for chat gpt-7 where I can put in videos of some of these meetings and get a quick translation. I have no idea why older engineers sometimes talk around the issue instead of plainly stating what they mean.

we're gonna put our database in rice and then come back in a few min
⚠️ Planned update at 2:30 p.m. PT
This is our biggest single-day jump in new users that we've experienced — up 2x from yesterday.
To handle this demand, we need to perform an upgrade to our database. There might be ~5 minutes of downtime as a result.
We're so excited to have you all join our beta!

One of the things that was exciting about twitter/fb early on and has been exciting about Bluesky and Mastodon now is how natural/normal it feels to strike up (friendly) conversation with people you don't know. At some point, that began to feel out of place.

I wonder if there is a perfect way to nap. I usually work 2hrs and get a 20 minute cat nap in afterwards. But does the sudden jolt of the alarm hurt me in any way? Hmmm 🧐 maybe I should work 3 and then nap for an hour.
