My 10-month old kid might grow up to be a handy man.
Last week, he got a toy tool box as a present. It's an elegant wooden box, with big rubber wheels that he can push around indoors. The box was stuffed with lots of tools as well. There's a screwdriver, a saw, lots of bolts and nuts - all made of wood and child-safe of course.
But his favourite is the hammer.
The second he saw that, he went straight for it. All the other tools are still untouched. But the hammer, the hammer he carries around with him everywhere around the house. He'll happily bang with it on the floor, the stairs, the couch.
The dishwasher needs fixing? The hammer. My office chair is squeaky? He uses the hammer. The fridge door is open? Surely it's broken and yes, banging the hammer on it will definitely fix it.
No problem is too large or small for that hammer. He'll eventually discover the other tools in that wooden box.
I wish more people would realise they have more tools at their disposal than aria-label to make stuff "accessible."
It's the first thing people reach for and it ends up on everything. Broken flow? aria-label. Screen reader reading something weird? aria-label. When you're not sure what's going on, but it feels like an accessibility thing? Yep, aria-label. You use it preemptively as well, as if!
And look, it's not a bad tool. The hammer isn't bad either. But they're just one tool in a much bigger box.
