Requirements to put in a job description to discourage or filter out autistic people:

  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • Strong people skills
  • Good culture fit
  • Multitasking
  • A fast-paced dynamic environment
  • Bachelor's degree or better

I see these things and think you don't want my >30 years of programming and machine learning experience, or my problem-solving skills and comprehensive knowledge that had people mistaking me for one of the team's PhDs, or my solutions that have proven patent-worthy. Your loss.

@hosford42 @actuallyautistic @neurodivergence "Good culture fit" is a fast-track to homogeny. What you actually need is "Good culture add" - how can this person improve the company culture, not just how well will they fit in with what already exists.

@hryggrbyr@fedia.social avatar

Right, accessibility folks! Please could you all weigh in on this!

For good or bad, a common design practice is to make links (goes to a different page) look like buttons. Assuming the underlying code is correct (uses <a> instead of ) so assistive technology announces it correctly, is it OK that the "link" is </a>not underlined?

I'd be grateful for further reading links and/or shouty opinions! 😃

Quick question for folks who like to reuse #tech like #laptops… Are #chromebooks still easy enough to replace with #linux of some flavour?

Something like this is swirling in my brain and I'm sure it's from a film but I can't figure out what. Any ideas, friends?

When choosing your cellphone wallpaper/backgrounds, do you prefer Vibrant or Pastel?

@andycarolan Mine is usually monochrome because goth but, when I do have colour, it tends towards pastel.
