Why Accessibility Should Be Treated as an Operational Capability
Smashing Magazine
EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt says accessibility is often handled as a one-time audit, but that approach does not fit fast-moving AI-assisted development. It argues that teams need accessibility built into everyday engineering, like privacy, security, reliability, and observability, because code that passes tests can still be unusable for some people.
INSIGHTS
For learners, this is a reminder to check accessibility early, not after launch. A good next step is to test your UI with keyboard navigation and a screen reader while you build.
