Article about accessibility - code snippets added as images. And what about alt text? It just broadly summarizes what is displayed in image. I think there might be a tiny little problem here.

The things you are asking would be done in 2028 under "Grounds up refactoring for Accessibility First Engineering"

The text is also quite small and low-contrast (which matters a lot for accessibility!)

Also, more subjectively, the snippets don't really match the aesthetics of the rest of the site. The pseudo-macOS rendering inside the black borders is strange, as is the choice to use different monospace fonts for filenames and code snippets.
