✨An Intro to Accessibility: Why Aria-Labels Aren't Always Enough
👩‍💻 Em Comeau

Accessibility is a word we hear thrown around a lot, but if you ask most developers, their knowledge begins and ends with aria-labels and alt-text for images. The advances in screen reader technology lately have been astounding, but there's still so much more we in tech can do to create more accessible apps to make tech available to everyone.

Em currently a frontend developer at Twitch with a focus on accessibility. They love combining their passion for equity and inclusion with tech, as well as a really well done grilled cheese.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👩‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👨‍👦‍👦Code of Conduct: 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👨‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

Thank you for your part in helping us cultivate a harassment-free experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of our members or organizers.

Be kind to others. While VueNYC is a professional community, it's also a community of friends. We ask you to be aware of the fact that conversations that may be appropriate within the context of a specific friendship may not be appropriate in a public space or with someone you don't know well.

Be careful in the words that you choose. Remember that sexist, racist, and other exclusionary jokes can hurt those around you.

We also follow the Recurse Center's social rules, which are summarized below:

• No well-actually’s
• No feigned surprise
• No backseat driving
• No subtle -isms

The social rules are lightweight. You should not be afraid of breaking a social rule. These are things that everyone does, and breaking one doesn’t make you a bad person. If someone says, "hey, you just feigned surprise," or "that’s subtly sexist," don’t worry. Just apologize, reflect for a second, and move on
