Boss, I'm tired. I'm tired of trying to keep up with AI models, developing workflows and pipelines that are soon invalidated by improvements to AI coding agents, feeling like my career is just one AI advancement from smithereens. You too? Join me. Learn **Durable Skills**.

For those of you who don't know, those are not characters that have a special font, those are actual mathematical characters that are being abused to make the text look like it has a special font in an effort to be "cute." The screen reader is doing its job correctly.

Netflix: This video for your kids is 20 minutes. Me: But I need just a few more minutes to keep them occupied while I finish something... Netflix: Sorry. Me: document.querySelectorAll('video').forEach(v => v.playbackRate = 0.8) Netflix: Sssooouuunnndddsss gggoooddd.

And for those using screen readers who understandably skipped or not understood the original tweet, here's what it says: You this it's cute to write your tweets and usernames this way. But have you listened to what it sounds like with assistive technologies like VoiceOver?

Tonight I got t-boned by a guy running a stop sign in a residential area going 80-100 mph. The seatbelt broke my collar bone and the airbags broke my front teeth. The dashboard trapped my feet and knees in the car for 20 minutes while they ripped the top of the car off to get me.

Please do continue sharing and reminding people in the thread that empathy is important. This isn't about whether screen readers/twitter should be fixed. It's about what the experience of people is really like today and that by using characters like these you're harming people.

Unless I'm teaching you JavaScript fundamentals, everything I teach will be taught with TypeScript going forward. TypeScript has won, and it's only a matter of time you're using it whether you like it or not.
