getting nerds to give a shit about people who aren't neurotypical & able-bodied middle+ class white tech boys is the hardest problem in computer science
@quine tech is probably the most friendly field for people with disabilities though?
eh..
@rice
extremely extremely extremely untrue as someone with ADHD (which can be a disability sometimes) as well as not super great motor control & rsi problems (not really at disability level but still makes using certain software hard), plus knowing people who have disabilities who have found tech extremely fucking inaccessible
@rice
people being actually fucking helpful and not shouting rtfm at you or banning you from a support channel for asking a question, people not assuming that a user is able to sit there and read a long user manual and retain information from it in their brain, people not writing "self documenting" code that is impossible to wrap your brain around if you have a bad memory, people not writing complicated documentation that involves a knowledge of category theory to understand stuff
@quine what would make it better for you? I'm interested
