Text-first and keyboard-first interfaces aren't legacy cruft. For multiply disabled users, they're the only viable path. This piece makes a sharp case for terminal-like transparency combined with AI that can translate messy intent into actual action, which is the kind of interface design that rarely gets built because designers don't test with the right people.

What if the rise of AI says more about the the web being designed inaccessibly than AI itself?

@tink is speaking The Web You Want exploring how inaccessible and poorly designed experiences have created opportunities for AI tools to act as intermediaries bridging gaps left by inaccessible web experiences

A three thousand eight hundred employee company shouldn't be losing five hundred and nineteen thousand dollars per quarter on accessibility failures. Spread your quality investments across many areas. Let no single failure take you down. That's how you survive.
