Five Links #93

1. What’s your attention worth

This site roughly calculates what advertisers have spent tracking and targeting you with ads.

2. WCAG3 Contrast as of April 2026

APCA was only ever exploratory, and the W3C’s July 2023 update explained removal of exploratory items. The APCA creator’s response to Michael Cooper’s comment acknowledged that APCA versions in the draft “were all early versions that were very obsolete” (emphasis theirs).

3. Endgame for the Open Web

This is a sobering read, particularly the “list of examples”.

4. My salary history

This is a great bit of transparency from Jeremy Keith, sharing over 20 years of salary history.

5. When moving fast, talking is the first thing to break

Why talk to an expert who might tell me no, when the omniscient machine that always tells me yes is right here? Avoiding that friction doesn’t produce better products faster. It makes future conversations more difficult thanks to higher sunk costs and deeper entrenched opinions.
