@hellogreg in the middle of his #axecon talk on keyboard testing:
"The reason I'm doing this whole talk is actually not about keyboard testing. It's actually about carousels. If you've spent any amount of time on accessibility testing, it will make you an anti-carousel zealot. Don't make them. They're hard to do right. Nobody likes them except stakeholders. And if you're hiding stuff in a carousel, you'd better be okay with nobody ever seeing it." Love it. #accessibility

Who on Mastodon will follow this year's #axecon by #deque?
Are the talks and sessions actually interesting and useful for the day to day work to increase #accessibility in apps and websites?
I for myself want to get a deeper understanding for this very important topic as a developer and think that this convention could be a good starting point?
