I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
I tried to respond to this using my screen reader and, woah. Super difficult.
FWIW, DEV is actually not particularly bad when it comes to accessibility with a screen reader (they're not great either, but I've see quite a few sites that were much worse). A lot of the issue is just learning to use the screen reader effectively, as it requires a very different mental paradigm from interacting with a computer visually. The best analogy I can come up with is that it's like learning to use the Linux command-line on an old VT100 serial terminal (not an emulator, but an actual VT100) when you're used to using Windows 10 on a brand-new computer. I would suggest first getting used to using just the keyboard to interact with the web (this is also a good way to test accessibility), as it will help you get used to navigating the page in the way a screen reader usually presents it.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
