Told a co-worker I'm colour-blind because she kept writing in yellow pen and I hated it. Manager overheard, asked if I struggle with our software, I had to keep the lie going. Now they've spent thousands upgrading it for colour-blind accessibility. Oops.
Eugen Rochko@fesshole@mastodon.social You did a good thing.

Given that males are over represented in tech and that 1 in 12 of us are color blind, I am puzzled why major software vendors continue to make bad choices. One system I use uses little colored dots to indicate the status of components. They all look the same to me. Rage inducing.
