    <content type="html">Kes: I'm currently in week 2 of a seven-week web tester training course which is taking all my time and energy--you can read about it here&lt;br /&gt;The Carroll Center Screen Reader User Tester Training Program webpage &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://carroll.org/screen-reader-user-tester-training-program/"&gt;https://carroll.org/screen-reader-user-tester-training-program/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--but, as a blind Hermione who has taken *many* online courses over the past two years, I can say that many of them feature inaccessible teaching tools, especially the coding courses. One thing I love about GitHub is that, once you have figued out the interface--and I wrote a help doc for using the interface with a screen reader, so it is pretty accessible--there is no third-party&lt;br /&gt;tools involved, just straightforward menus and buttons.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;For visually impaired developers, the tools just aren’t good enough – so they’re taking matters into their own hands&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Loeppky&lt;br /&gt;21 Mar 2022&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.itpro.co.uk/security/hacking/363344/vulnerability-hunters-naturally-inquisitive"&gt;https://www.itpro.co.uk/security/hacking/363344/vulnerability-hunters-naturally-inquisitive&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kestrell&amp;ditemid=441068" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
