As a Disabled software engineer directly affected by this blatantly inaccessible voice tweet feature, it is incredibly soul crushing to see a massive company with endless resources release shit like this and say "We& #39;ll figure it out later."

1/3
You& #39;re not working to dismantle an ableist system. You& #39;re strengthening it. You& #39;re empowering people who share that "we can do it later" mentality. You& #39;re undoing all the work and energy I& #39;ve put into educating other software engineers on this topic.

2/3
So, thanks for not only shitting on the Disabled people who can& #39;t use this feature, but also thanks for shitting on the people doing accessibility education.

YOU& #39;RE DOING GREAT.

3/3
And when I say "soul crushing" I mean it exactly like that. My body is having a physical reaction to this because it& #39;s incredibly upsetting.
