You’re not taking away from someone by using it. If anything, you’re helping to normalize it for those that may need it more. I find it super useful. I discovered it when I saw it as a font on my Kindle. I was like… is there a mono version?
OpenDyslexic. Can read it at any size and quickly.
So what skills are you trying to grind? The company I work for now had a very similar nonsense hiring process. I think they call it FAANG hiring for the top 5 nerd companies.
I studied my ass off to learn everything I never used in my new role—been here a year. I feel more qualified than a few of the senior developers I work with. I have a similar history as you. I started development around 2001. I went to college for Accounting and dropped out of that after 2 years.
Sometimes you have to play the game to win. Some services help you learn all that stuff to get hired. I’m not sure which to recommend because I didn’t use one.
Good luck!
Yes, agree. That’s why I think everyone should use them more. They’re super helpful for all. I can make my font smaller and see just as well. If more people demand something like this then those that need it will have it.
