Accessibility Beyond Code Compliance
summary
Argues accessibility skills pay beyond compliance and lists five concrete roles: design systems (build accessible components, run audits, add CI checks that block submissions missing alt text), product design (embed accessibility early to save engineering time), data science (track task completion times with assistive tech, bug counts and age), and AI research (few‑shot models trained on blurry blind users’ videos; job‑matching AI capturing accommodations). Cites WhatsApp growth to ~600 million users and $19B exit as an analogy for expanded markets.
