Something strange happening in my TL: people whose job it is to build user experiences are telling me to care more about devs than users.

Precedent: twenty years of accessibility advocacy.
-
and some success stories: getting a11y into jQuery UI, other toolkits.
-
In the tools that they were already using, no switching, no thinking.

: yep! I want all the tools to get good. Impatient for that and want competition to improve state of the art. /cc
@wycats -
: reality is that tool makers bear a heavy burden for defaults. Today those are set wrong in most cases. /cc
@wycats -
: projects cross my desk "near launch" and then I frequently have to coax teams through getting to "OK" (not good) /cc
@wycats -
: this is SUPER frustrating for those teams. They find out way too late that they can't afford what they assumed. /cc
@wycats -
Yup. And imagine that in a 4 person startup that’s perpetually two weeks from running out of cash.

also: not binary - if a dev can't ship the product, how will that make users happy. non-product has 0 happy users
-
: of course not binary. But ranked priority suggests tradeoffs & we should make those choices in user's favour.
-
your language strongly implies binary to people, which then leaves them with a clear choice.
-
we need positive sum outcomes here not zero-sum rhetoric. The irony is we're really close!
-
^ I entirely believe that. Many devs, I believe, would not from the convo tho :)
