alt Hacker Newsthis is super cool as an art form but ASCII art is an accessibility nightmare so please don't use it for docs unless you know what you're doing and have made it accessible in some other way

Is it still true with llms being so good at interpreting it? I just tried all the examples on the home page, it works perfectly. In the past couple months I've moved almost entirely back to the terminal because I can just ask my coding agent to "have a look at this tmux session".

Good reminder to keep in mind.
At the same time, I don't think one should necessarily limit your expression based on constraints like accessibility.
Is there any way to make images accessible other than the alt tag? I'm sure SVGs are more machine-readable, but how would that help vision-impaired folks?
