I know it's not. It's horrific. I'm so glad I end the week at an #a11y conference lest my head explode fully.

It's very hard to work 25 years - a full career almost - and realize your passion and energy is ultimately useless to others. Lovely feels.

And I for one am sick of #a11y coming AFTER THE FACT. What part of "the Web is an accessible medium BY DEFAULT" have we not expressed FFS!

This is exactly what I'm feeling. What did I just spend my career doing? Nothing.

Just because you can re-engineer the Web doesn't mean you should, particularly when it comes to stomping on #a11y and fundamentals of Web.

I'm sorry Pete Hunt @floydophone - you are talking about programming, not Web development. You just undid 25 years of work in #a11y #cssconf

What I've learned today: Javascript is everything. Use CSS classes, avoid structure and semantics and add #a11y after the fact. Um. #cssconf

He's now advocating inline style ."we shouldn't be thinking about specificity at all"

Speaker is saying that using classes is far more efficient than working with other selector types. Advocating class-specific #CSS? #cssconf
