Straight to the point and clear cut with great relatable examples. I really wish A11y was taken seriously a developers took an active interest rather than leaving it to other teams to test and report back.
Working with Web Technologies since ~20 years now and am seeking for a new challenge ever since. 😍

The tutorials are great and you can inspect all the code. There's countless packages too that help with accessibility for different frameworks.
I really dislike the notion that there must be a reward for it to be worth it. It is morally the correct thing to do, as well as a legal (not that you care, apparently). Hundreds of thousands of people suffer with some form of disability and websites can be impossible for them to navigate. A competent developer should be able to implement basic accessible practices rather than being lazy. The web is for everyone, not just the able bodied - the more we move to a digital first approach for daily life, the harder it can be for people with disabilities if sites don't implement basic accessibility - don't exclude disabled people more than society already does. Be a good person, not a prick.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

If accessibility were to have a better documentation and had any reward then I'd take a more active approach.
Would it be a reward knowing it can be costful to be sued? Just to mention one :)
I'm from Spain, so I genuinely don't care about the suing part.
There are nuances with accessibility and at times it can be very tricky, but I refute there isn't good documentation.
