Accessibility is not an afterthought. You should be accommodating to the many, many people out there with disabilities who want or need to access your services. This is good business sense–more people can use you features with ease, raising user satisfaction and increasing your reach to a wider audience. Accessibility is also required by law in many situations.
As well, remember that disability is the only minority group you can join later in life–an accident, a repetitive stress injury, or simply aging can make you disabled. One day, one of the people who needs accessibility features to use your app may be you.
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.

I am not a spiritual person. While I recognize these are important to many people, spirituality, magic, “magick”, and “metaphysics” are not practices I follow or believe in. When people talk about crystals, reiki, astrology, things like that, the best they’ll get from me is a polite nod and a tight smile while I hold back opinions that I know they won’t like.
However. I will go to bat for tarot (and oracle decks et al).
