I've been told I wasn't allowed to color code anything in a UI I worked on because "someone might be living with color vision deficiency".

Not that we have to also provide an alternative for people who can't use the color coding, but we can't use color coding at all.

The world is full of people with good intentions and bad ideas.

Refuse to do GUI at all - surely terminal is better for blind people.

Refuse to write the program entirely. It's ableist against people too unintelligent to use computers.
