Short essays on AI, alignment, math, and accessibility.
Most developers have never used a screen reader on their own site. Twenty minutes of actual use finds more accessibility issues than most automated audits. Here is the practical version, in detail.
They get conflated in the discourse, and the conflation leads to arguments where both sides are answering different questions. Here is the actual distinction.
The open web is filling with text generated by LLMs. The next generation of LLMs will be trained on it. The compounding problem has a name, and the solutions so far are partial.
Adding the media query is necessary and not sufficient. Here's what it covers, what it doesn't, and what you still have to design around.
I'm 29, a full-stack engineer with a mathematics degree, working between Germany and the Netherlands. Math taught me to see patterns, think in systems, and break complex problems into clean, logical steps — that's still how I approach every line of code.
I also specialize in web accessibility (EN 301 549). My brain latches onto edge cases — I see the ways things break before I see the happy path. If a site doesn't work with a screen reader, it's broken. Period. I dive deep into these problems until they're actually solved, not just "fixed." Half-complete solutions bother me in a way that's hard to explain.
