I've been thinking a lot about accessibility. The physical world is so inaccessible: lack of dropped curves, pedestrian hostile towns and cities, and heavy doors to multistory buildings with no lifts. Its built by abled, for abled people, forgetting we will become disabled at some point. The disabled among us? We're often exhausted by this inaccessible world, we lack the energy to leave the house. For myself, my disability isn't as physical, but I still find the outside world incredibly draining: unreliable transport, loud and brightly lit environments, crowded spaces and lack of of seating. Naturally, a lot of us are drawn into the digital world.

I've been off work recently. I've had some pretty serious heart issues that my doctors think might be POTS. It'll take a while to get diagnosed. I'm coming out of my flare up now. But in the lead up to and peak of my flare up? I was in the midst of horrific burnout: impossible deadlines lead by a profit rabid CEO, a code base of 50k+ lines with crippling technical debt and no refactoring.

I'm SO burnt out. I've been working on my boss's massive project, we keep getting crunches by his boss. As a result? He can't keep up, neither can I, and he resorts to using LLMs to do some of his coding for him. This grows the technical debt, because the code it outputs is terrible and doesn't make much sense. It causes problems, and then I'm tasked with fixing it.
