Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
It’s more my thing that due to the fact that a lot of JAWS users still use IE.

I agree with the sentiment but I have no control over what some people use (due to lack of technical knowledge) or are forced to use (due to compatibility with screen reader technology) so while they are still in use I will always try to support them.
With that being said support vs perfection is a very different thing, as long as you can use it and get to the end goal it doesn't matter much if it looks weird etc.
I will be covering this in my (soon to be released) rebuttal piece!
