Yes. Based on that thread, which is a fairly good representation of my experience on the Internet, we all could use that. Anyone who interacts with computers in a different way is someone a UX person must sit with and a developer should sit with. Instead of opening ourselves to new ideas, we tend to do what the folks in the thread did: attack the author as wrong, say the author is overstating the problem because a parent is just fine right this second or just get upset anyone would attack Apple/ Brand I Have Attached Myself To.

My sister recently asked a group of us coders how to help the blind folks she works with complete a Gov.UK One Login signup that requires a passport and matching selfie. I consider myself relatively conversant with accessibility issues but none of us could find a sure thing workaround.
