@cheeaun for someone who pays attention to such issues, do you feel like focus on improving in this direction has been steered away due to coding agents that are so good now, for maybe a year+ ? Or maybe will worsen.

@hboon technically coding agents can be steered towards improving such issues too, where accessibility affects humans.

From my observation, the surprising thing is that, code spit out by coding agents are technically *more* accessibility-focused - not sure if it's trained to do so. It kinda make sense because it becomes a win-win situation; when a UI becomes more accessible to humans, it’s also more accessible to agents.

@cheeaun You could steer, or maybe the model becomes better by default, towards writing more accessibility-focused code; but I was wondering if we lose the drive to improve frameworks, standards etc to improve accessibility. Like even if it's harder, as long as it can still be done reasonably with AI, no one might be noticing or feeling that difficulty/gap to improve it.
