How Privilege Defines Performance

By Tatiana Mac

How Privilege Defines Performance

In theory, web performance, accessibility, and inclusive design all have similar goals: Provide the best, most consistent experience to all people using the minimal amount of resources. In practice, this often falls apart. Product creators define what it means to be performant from where they stand, which is typically from places of privilege with unseen biases, struggling to find true empathy with their users. Through this talk, we'll examine how to build conscientiously, looking within to resist systematic problems in order to create more truly performant, accessible, and inclusive systems for our users. Given first at Perf Matters in Redwood City, Calif. on 4 April 2019. You can watch the talk here: https://youtu.be/nQq_gZiZ-jg
