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.
Oh and as for being pretentious telling me your achievements...certainly not, people need to stop worrying about shouting out about what they have achieved!
Yes, I too have literally just been playing with centring things 😉dev.to/inhuofficial/comment/1h2m6 - <center> may be deprecated but while it works, take advantage!
As for the main point, getting content out there. I agree, share stuff with the world when it isn't perfect! Better out in the world and not fully accessible than not out there at all (a shocking thing to say coming from an accessibility advocate!)
The only argument I have is that adding all those liquid tags would take a similar amount of time to copy pasting the content and adding a couple of headings. It isn't a 200 page books worth of information to adjust so I am sure 2-3 minutes of your time would have been worth it.
But that is it, the whole argument, I am merely prodding (in what was meant to be a playful manner) you towards thinking about accessibility. If it read in any way other than playful then that is my fault, I write rants often that are meant to be angry so I think my softer side is beginning to weaken! 😋🤣
Oh and when I said article, I didn't mean a masterpiece, just the best format for the platform you are posting on so that everyone can digest the information easily.
An option while you experiment
You do know that one option would just be to link to the original twitter thread as a way of providing a more accessible alternative? A simple disclaimer at the start of the article:
"Due to limitations on how content can be added to content sharing sites like DEV, this post may not be a great experience for people who use assistive technology such as a screen reader. As such you can find the original thread on Twitter here as that may be more accessible."
Still not perfect but at least a nice heads up for people and a simple way that you could partially address the issue while playing around with ideas!
Look after yourself
Oh and a final thought just based on a couple of comments you made in that epic rant, take some time for a break.
90+ hours a week and all-nighters are the road to a miserable existence and burnout. Take some of the pressure off, you have plenty of time to get the content out there!
Look after yourself!
If I have misread that, then ignore me, just a friendly reminder based on what you wrote that 1000 posts over 10 years is much better than 100 posts in 3 months and then stopping producing content as you are sick of it!
I look forward to seeing more of your posts and seeing the course based on all of your notes when you get that finished!

OK I read that whole essay, loved it!
