Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.
Okay, someone is looking for accessibility focused reading and it's been so long since I started from zero, I'm going to crowdsource it.
My accessibility network, what work would you point a newer person to in 2026?
(Please feel free to spread! I know the accessibility focused community isn't a monolith and would also love works outside my corner.)

Incredible stuff from PF this year.
I started building the photo management parts of 
@aphera on the earliest versions of SharingGRDB. I had been debating using SQLite for the document format and it was the push I needed.
Since then, it's been an absolute joy following the development of StructuredQueries and leaning on the patterns PF has promoted for modern persistence and data management.

Per replies, something I need to clarify:
We often use the word “neurotypical” to mean “neither autistic nor ADHD.” That might be useful as a shorthand, I guess, but it’s that mode of thought I’m specifically arguing against here: creating a single catch-all category defined as a negative, calling it “normal,” and assuming that it fits most people.
That doesn’t stand up to empirical scrutiny, and I don’t think it’s particularly healthy or helpful.

Totally agree. This is why I argue for "non-autistic" in papers to describe research participants who are... not autistic, but could be unusual in loads of ways we didn't measure.

The Rise of SQL
SQL dominated the jobs ranking in this year's IEEE Spectrum interactive rankings of the top programming languages. Normally, the top position is occupied by Python or other mainstays, such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, but we explain why SQL has soared to the top

Contributing to OpenStreetMap is nice because it satisfies some deep-seated urge to organize information, the kind that I have to imagine is shared by those medieval nuns who sat down to catalog every single local plant or animal, or the monks who wrote chronicles.

This is what happened to the web when the software industry never spent a moment thinking about long term stability. About users. About usability. About anything other than features and a fast buck.
Among many other failings.
Would be nice to some professionalism in future. One can hope, but I despair.
