job & interview awesome show! feels bad!

i recently answered some interview questions for a "senior" frontend engineering role at a food processing and air transportation company. remember these questions?:

How do you ensure that your website design or web application is accessible and user-friendly?

...

What are your favorite features of HTML5 and CSS3, and how have you implemented them in your frontend development projects?

...

What is Responsive Web Design?

...

What are your favorite types of frontend development projects to work on? What do you like about them?

...

...

details on my answers

according to wordcounter.net (including questions):

why should i worry about "not knowing everything" and "being humble" when, after 15+ years of suffering the false competition, "browser wars" and "framework wars" and incessant infighting about html being a programming language or not; or javascript being a "toy" language or not — nevertheless, i've come to understand what's "good enough" and "built-to-last"?

over 90% of the web is inaccessible now, and you want to lecture us about humility?

what do you suppose i don't know, that Girls Who Code could be up to anything now that they're teaming up with "precision weapons" manufacturers?

your insistence on writing with this air of denialism and only speaking to the "implication of the situation" after 500 years of slavocracy and 400 broken treaties? who do you think you are? the audacity of moralizing and individualizing what i am saying as if there are not millions of marginalized, subjugated, and colonized living entire lives of grieving just outside your zip code — and for what? the code of capital.
