Twitter’s Entire A11y Experience Team Let Go

Re:Twitter’s Entire A11y Experience Team Let Go by VWWHFSfQ on Sunday November 06, 2022 @04:26PM (#33497387)

Because Twitter as-is is a finished product. There's no immediate need to review accessibility issues since there are no new product features/updates for the foreseeable future. Musk froze everything. So what were those people supposed to do? Nothing? Might as well let them move on to new jobs.

Really? You were on the team then? I assume you found out that they had an entirely empty Jira backlog and no more accessibility updates to do on main, so they were let go?

I appreciate your insight, former Twitter employee. What else can you tell us about how your job went?

You don't need to be a Twitter employee to know this. Merely posting on this forum gives you enlightenment and insight that others would only dream to have. I stand proudly with VWWHFSfQ.

Yeah we all know big applications work like that and will get finished sometime. Like google search which definitely didn’t change since its first iteration, it does the same doesn’t it?

A new feature launched today, and it's not finished so will definitely be updated. Musk said long form text attachments are coming like next week...

he didn't freeze shit.
