Hot, flaky, and unfinished - Testing, accessibility, and the grief we don't talk about - Ep 137

Episode 137 of This Week in Quality opens with playful banter about heat, workshops vs meetings, and the reality of notification fatigue. The conversation quickly heats up with hot takes on “done is better than perfect” lightning learning, how tooling layers add complexity to testing, and why understanding the system matters before measuring it. The standout segment is Ady’s blunt argument that accessibility isn’t “extra” - choosing deadlines over inclusion is systemic discrimination - followed by practical discussion on making accessibility a business objective and creating safe forums for developers to learn. It closes with a thoughtful pivot into making space to grieve how AI is changing roles, plus a tongue-in-cheek Oasis/Blur sign-off.
