Seriously, I get that not everyone is able to do #accessible and #performant #forms and #Websites and that #JavaScript is trendy and hip.

Process Vs Prejudice

shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/07/proce

I recently read an interesting article about Accountability Sinks. In it, the author argues that part of the reason for having business processes is that they diffuse accountability.

Every one of us has tried to have an argument with an employee of a big company, and it always goes like this:

the human being you are speaking to is only allowed to follow a set of processes and rules that pass on decisions made at a higher level of the corporate hierarchy. It’s often a frustrating experience; you want to get angry, but you can’t really blame the person you’re talking to.

So should we give people more discretion in which processes they follow?

In some cases, yes! The article contains some compelling examples of when "breaking the rules" is the preferable outcome.

But there are some unacknowledged downsides to letting people decide which rules are applicable - and that's people's personal prejudices.

The article say some of the discontent with the modern world can be blamed on over-adherence to rules. For example:

The skepticism toward judges? It fits. They often seem more devoted to procedure than to justice.

Imagine a world without sentencing guidelines. Perhaps the judge is from a different tribe to the accused and punishes them much more harshly than a clan-member. Would that seem fair?

The customer service agent just doesn't like people of your gender, and refuses to process your refund.

You give the bank manager a firm handshake and he approves your loan - even though you don't technically qualify you look like a decent sort of chap.

And on it goes.

Look, there's no doubt plenty of bias encoded within processes. All processes should be regularly reviewed and updated. Breaking a process in extremis can be a good idea. When confronted with an inflexible policy, you may feel like a mere cog in a machine - but at least the machine is prevented from discriminating against your type of cogs.

A well-defined process dehumanises both sides.

Spitzen Im Bogen, Wassily Kandinsky
Fluttering Sails, Lena Gurr

I noticed these two have similarities...

I was thinking the Kandinsky one was more about abstract ideal forms, like the idea of things...

And the other one I thought about time, maybe even just one sailboat coming and going over and over, seasons coming and going, bringing in the catch of the day...

Anyway, whatever, have a good Tuesday 😁

I’m currently trying to improve a signup form in SwiftUI to make it at least useable with VoiceOver. There are different fields like name, email and so on. They get validated when submit is triggered. If it fails a text message is shown below the field.

Can anyone point me to a good example on how to achieve this? I've tried my luck with AccessibilityFocusState but it seems to have issues with just added views.
