Your next customer might not be human. AI agents are already browsing and completing checkouts on behalf of users — and they read your site through the exact same accessibility tree screen readers do. Tim Damen (Frontend Chapter Lead & Accessibility Lead, Amsterdam) makes the business case: the same patterns that serve disabled users determine whether an agent can complete a purchase at all.

You know I've been giving instructions to AI too long when I start to think about how to tell AI to fold my laundry. A real @iamdevloper moment

Google is a bad influence. My 10-year-old son searched "What is arson" and it gave him 80 million matches! #ReactRally #DadJoke
