Yea I doubt he "knows" those languages. I know how to write code In a bunch of languages but I surely don't feel like I know them. However I suffer from imposter syndrome too, so I never feel like I know what I am doing.

I am an web and software engineer and I have been pushing my teams for over 14 years to make sure accessibility is as important as anything else.

Unfortunately, most clients and leadership reject it because of costs. But there have been some judicial precedent set over the past few years that has them crying and asking why their sites aren’t WCAG AA standardized. Many of them, that passed us up because of costs for accessibility have been sued and they come crawling to us to fix it.

If we had built the app or site initially, we probably cost about 2% more for accessibility. Once sued, they had to pay over $20k in legal fees and another $30k to make their existing app accessible. It’s much harder to retro-fit accessibility than it is to plan it out beforehand.

It's the basic question to any new product or service. When going out for funding the first questions asked are, "what problem does this solve?", "why wouldn't you use X instead of your product/service?", "how is your product/service different?", "why should I use your product/service?", and "what kind and how many people will want this product/service?"

That is the basic elevator pitch.

Is that the point of traveling these days? Just to say you have done it and to post it online (aka here and instagram)?

Ah so you use VO/screen reader because it gives you the gestures. I was confused about the voice part at first.
