This will open up gov contracting jobs and healthcare to trans folks who have cybersec, dev, etc. experience/are self taught but couldn’t get degrees
Esp with how many trans folks have cyber or dev expertise this could be one of the biggest labor/financial boons to the trans community in ages.

What are some accessibility options I, an idiot self-taught dev, might include in my 2d sprite video game? I want to gather a list and see which are applicable (and which I'm capable of programming)

And to be clear I am one of the people im talking about, I was a self taught rails dev before Rust entered my life!
But there’s an important distinction here: we said Rust is for every *one*, not rust is for every *thing*!

The “solo developer” convo happening right now kind of reminds me of the “self-taught” title some people keep insisting on.
I’m talking about the dev who has worked with ppl 10 years, learned tons from them, still insist they are entirely “self-taught“. Ok.

See, this is the problem with being a self taught hobby dev, who's never been in the industry.
I have no idea things like this even exist till i happen to catch it, or a rogue google result shows me. Heh.
So thanks!
