I didn’t leave tech because I don’t care. I retired. But y’all, I can’t say it wasn’t a good time to leave… I care so much I worked be fighting these battles too. And I’m too old for that. I look in from the outside now and again and I really feel for all the carers. 🥺💜

Thank you for this much needed reminder. It's so easy to slip down the "no fucks left to give" path and I've caught myself doing that too often lately for self preservation. It's been a down couple of days.

This, again. Many times I've considered putting up and shutting up at work - and well, sometimes I have pulled back - and just doing the front end work assigned to me without pushing back on accessibility issues in the bits I touch and the wider app. But I can't. Pandora's box is open. I care.

I love this post. Thank you so much for writing it.

Anywhoo, we’re all feeling the stages of grief, and these are my feelings on ~the discourse~

i’m just obstinate and generally disagreeable. i’ll use the AI while they are tracking it, but by god i’m going to do it the way i want and not the way they want. i won’t stop looking at the code. AI to me is just faster typing
