Mike:
I'm not suggesting that my solution is the only solution, or even that
they're valid. I've been very lucky to have the experience I do, and did
at the time, but I know and understand this is not going to work for
everyone.
My fear with advocacy has always been two specific issues. First, that
the company can and will find a way to let you go because they don't
want to spend the effort solving the problem, and the second is
something like the death of a thousand cuts, where you report so many
issues that people simply give up on listening. If advocacy works, I am
always in favor and do try that first. I am not suggesting that it won't
work or shouldn't be tried. I've also tried to be clear, but will say
this again; my solutions, methods and ideas for solving problems may not
be yours or the approach someone else will take. It doesn't mean that
either person is wrong.
I've had two very vastly different experiences in my work career. At one
of my jobs, I thought I had been doing quite well until I was placed on
a probationary period for not being thorough and doing enough work.
Relatively soon after graduating college, I was expected to be cherning
out the same amount of work as those with 10+ years of experience in the
field. This drove my anxiety through the roof, and I started pretty
drastic therapy around this time because I was the only person earning
in my household, and I could not lose my job. I was already working 10
hour days and this stepped things up to even more, where 14 hours was
the norm. I was told that I should've worked thanksgiving because it was
in the middle of this probationary period. This was to have happened in
two stages, I was to have been reviewed at both stages to know how I was
doing. At the end of the first stage, my call wasn't a review at all so
much as a note that they would have let me go had I not performed well
enough. My nights and weekends were devoted to holding on to this job,
and I passed through fine, but always terrified of what step might
create this issue again. I had minimal notice of it; the first thing I
knew of this happening was receiving a call from my manager and a lady
from human resources first thing on a Friday morning to get my day
started off right. When I talk about my solutions to problems, they are
the result of lots of anxiety and mental health issues created through
this job. I was always terrified of what might happen if I reported
issues, or didn't do enough work, or wasn't learning and showing
progress by reading while I was also working my long days. I went from
getting up every morning insanely excited to be working on the product I
was to dreading work every day; even after leaving, I still woke up from
dreams where I was sitting down in front of that computer for that
specific job and getting ready to join my morning meeting. This happened
for a good few months after I transitioned to a new job. I was having
panic attacks and would have to remind myself (and then focus on
breathing techniques) that I was in a better place. Even with all of
this, I am greatful for the experience to some extent. It made me learn
at an insane rate, it made me focus on being a better engineer, and it
made me develop under a lot of pressure skills that will always help me
moving forward. When I talk about solving problems and flying under the
radar, it's created through this type of interaction. These weren't even
accessibility issues, but I do strongly feel that had I not ran into
some of the accessibility barriers I did with local recruiters, I
could've been at a better job.
My other experience is the polar opposite. Where I am right now, I
receive notice for my work; it's okay to take a mental health day if you
need one, it's okay to take time off, and if there were ever any issues
with my performance I know I would hear about them before HR was even a
thought, and not after a complaint was drafted to slap me with on a
Friday morning. The company is willing to help resolve issues that I
might have. I can't really explain how much of a difference this is.
Part of the fear for me was that maybe I wasn't actually good enough.
Maybe I didn't have the skills to be a software engineer, because a good
engineer could be solving the problems like the people around me with
apparent ease, and not struggling under 14 hour days to learn so that I
could keep my job. One of the most amazing confidence building tasks I
was able to work on was something that a couple of people before me had
tried to accomplish, and were not able to. Following that I designed and
implemented a system by myself that is going to be used for one of our
larger customers, and managed to roll it out, start to finish with
minimal oversight and issue.
Ultimately, my point is that I responded to your question with my own
examples and how I've attempted to resolve them, and in some cases
simply failed. I don't expect anyone to go to the lengths I have gone
to, while I also know that the lengths I did go to could've been
surpassed by someone who had more knowledge, energy or experience than I
did. This is not me saying that anyone was wrong in how they solved
their problems. As I pointed out in another message, everyone's starting
line is different. This is dictated, in my opinion by a lot of factors:
experience, mental health/spoons/energy, ability, resources, current
environment and so many more. My success, such as it is was gained
through banging on doors until I could move to another position.
Please do not take anything I said as some indication that our
experiences were different. It very well could have (and still could at
any point) be me that is let go from a position due to accessibility.
There is never any level of certainty that it will not happen. I've been
through a lot of therapy and learned a lot of techniques to help manage
some aspects of this, but I still have a very very long way to go, and
that won't prevent me from losing a position if I for some reason can
not do that job.

At my previous job, it was my first programming job, so I wouldn’t have had the experience Like you did, to write my own accessibility solution. I was fresh out of college. That’s why my response of advocating was the idea that I had, even though it’s not going to work in every situation. Not everyone is going to have a ton of experience to be able to write their own interface, to do their job. They just need to be able to do their job. Like you said, there’s also the psychological burn out factor, of working under pressure on your assigned work project, along with the accessibility issues. How do you think people should cope with that? how do you think entry level developers fresh out of college can hurry up to get the experience they need, to write their own Accessibility?

When they work for a company, how can they develop skills fast enough, to fix every accessibility issue? It takes a lot of time and skill to learn how to use a programming language effectively, let alone learn how to use an API.

>> A name is actually something that would help. The only issue is that this has expanded beyond computer science. Some people have said they want to work on math solutions, others music translation solutions and document them. Something discussed in another thread (I think it was another thread) is the idea of using Github. A groups.io would make sense as a mailing list to communicate, and perhaps we should move some of this discussion to something so we're not clogging up someone's inbox, eventually. The bonus for a Github site is two-fold: first, it enables people to contribute who have a github account and is a really well known service and site, which would potentially enable other people to add content, but the workflow also allows us to use a theme. This would create a responsive website where the site works better for mobile devices on mobile devices, and scales up to larger screens for desktop devices. This is really important because it will put us high in the search results when googling things that we've set up resources or articles on, which could help direct traffic to other sites and place this in a location that is easier to notice. Ease of discovery and use for everyone is, at least in my oppinion critical to insuring this be as widely available as possible. This isn't just my project, however, so I'm open to any ideas or thoughts people have. This can't be a single person's pride and joy because there's simply too much to be done here, and the project is by definition collaborative and community driven.
>>
>>
>> To answer your second question, I'm by far not an expert on this, so I'm interested to know other people's thoughts and ideas. Despite programming for a really long time, I've only had experience in a few different companies. One of them was using a lot older technology and did code reviews much like I imagine they happened in the 90s. There were accessibility issues, but for the most part they didn't interfere with my ability to work. More modern companies using more platforms certainly aren't the same, however. Even here I've been incredibly lucky to find a job at a company that is open to accessibility problems and is willing and interesting to find solutions. I can speak to a few issues here:
>>
>>
>> We were using Tenrox, for my first two years at this company. It is a time management system that we needed to enter hours on for project planning/etc. This was not accessible in the slightest. I spent a while attempting to solve the problem and had to reach out to my manager to let him know; unfortunately this meant that he was on the hook to enter my time for me every week. I could email him when changes to the typical distribution changed. I realize that I'm incredibly lucky to have someone who is willing to do this, however and it is not the chosen solution. It also helped my case that I tried to create other solutions. Senior management is aware that I used their API and attempted to write an interface to enter my own time, but that didn't work out because the API wasn't all that well documented.
>>
>>
>> Other issues at various companies included not being able to present. We used Skype for Business at one of my internships, and I would have to present testcases, sometimes over conference because people I was working with would sometimes be remote. Everyone used Skype there instead of Skype for business for regular chat, and we had group chats. I would send out an email with my calendar link letting them know to RSVP to me, and a few minutes before each meeting I would create a skype thread I could screenshare with including everyone that was remote wishing to work with me. This felt like a reasonable solution and no one seemed to care too much.
>>
>>
>> When I work with websites that aren't accessible, sometimes parts of them are, or sometimes people can send me links to pages I can't otherwise access. I've made changes to backend systems at various places when they were worked on in-house to fix it for myself. Interestingly enough, this also tends to fix issues for others. I've scripted/automated some issues that I couldn't otherwise solve, as well.
>>
>>
>> Sometimes if I need to do something that is only done through a backend service like submit information to accounting, or HR, or anyone else I'll sometimes just show up at their desk (this worked when we weren't all remote) or send them an email and see if they have a few minutes to talk to me. Usually once I explain something I've been able to work out a solution. This falls firmly in the networking bucket of the ideas you mentioned. One of the hardest parts about this solution is that it requires I stash my frustration, because approaching someone when you're upset is likely not going to get them on your side. They have a million things to do every day, and you are essentially depending on their good will to help you resolve your problem. Making connections through the company has always been important for me. This goes farther than just connecting to people in offices; if I'm in a place where I know that I'll struggle to get the right k-cups, or know where drinks are in the employee fridge, etc, sometimes talking to the receptionist who handles these issues or someone in facilities is enough to insure my very own favorite box of k-cups never runs out and it's at my desk so I can just take one to the maker with me. There are still things I can't solve or handle, and I try as much as possible to overcome those things by being a better employee and helping out in other places, which certainly creates another layer of pressure in some instances.

You can view emails that way, or through your email inbox like this. for bringing people into an accessibility umbrella, what about calling the group something like accessible computer science?

What I'm really hoping this wiki can accomplish is to provide another tool in the toolbox you've already outlined for people to look for resources. The more of us documenting issues and solutions, the more likely it is that someone will get stuck on an almost Friday and find a problem and happily trundle onward in our day.

Some of us can't agree that this should be a wiki vs a specific division site, and I'm not sure email servers can keep up with a spirited discussion of which of the many many platforms out there would be the best. There is also the usability portion of this which would be that if we were to settle on Discord for example, plenty of people struggle to use Discord.

To clarify, I was not shooting those down (and I hope the pizza party comment didn't come across wrong--i meant it to be taken as a joke). The main point I wanted to make is that there are more parts to this solution, and I think it's going to take a lot of building blocks, but also to point out that sometimes using any tools in the toolbox is tough. With enough blocks in place, maybe we can eventually build something that provides more resources or know that the people following us will have a better time of navigating.

The mental health issues that a lot of blind people report intersect in many cases, and there is a much higher rate of depression among people who are blind. I believe this is part of the case. We work within a society that, in many cases does not care to accommodate us; it's not in the society's best interest, as many would see it to make life easier for others. We applaud people who solve individual issues because it helps people feel a heartwarmning sense of community and awe when someone makes a specific task more accessible, rather than for people to consider a society in which accessibility and usability were the norm, and what making such a thing happen might look like.

Generally, this is not the case; I can point to numerous companies I've contacted to become more accessible who brush it off or simply don't care. It's easy to suggest that you reach out to contacts and network, and sometimes that can work. Other times, you're in a crunch at work, working on a project that needs to be delivered, or a ticket so you can move to the next and you don't have the time to host a pizza party and invite all your blind coder pals over (or send an email and hope someone sees it) to ask for solutions to the problem.

When I had an accessibility problem about a year ago with the freecodecamp text editor, I asked in the freecodecamp forum if anybody knew about it. This led to the text editor being made more accessible. It was like a form of self advocacy. The issue with the text editor was that it kept speaking the word edit, anytime I pressed the arrow keys when using jaws in forms mode. That’s when I asked in the forums if anyone came across it, and the freecodecamp developers fixed the editor. Again, free code camp was not designed specifically for blind people, but that made it just a little easier to use for blind people, because I advocated.
