all front end devs and designer should watch this video

[deborah]

From heydon, What Happened To Text Inputs.

I cannot yell loudly enough that (thoughtless, ill-considered) innovation and standing out are nearly always incompatible with usability, user experience, and accessibility. Web designers and front end devs who don't have a functionality-first attitude need a new career, or they need to do work on art projects instead of usable websites. Heydon yells this with the assistance of wolves and cursing, so maybe more people will watch and pay attention.

So it's a rant about accessibility and usability... presented as a video with no transcript?

huh, there's a transcript on the youtube that's embedded, and there's captions on the embed on his site, so I don't know why the transcript's not linked from his site. But it's on the youtube and it's real captions/transcript, not auto-recognized craptions.
