Just yesterday we were talking about Discord (on Discord) @ job. I said something like "discord might be convenient, but searching for things is difficult in comparison to IRC". Then people asked me "what is IRC". Hit like a ton of bricks.

Wait, how would you search for something in IRC?

Grep, if you have local logs. Google, if they're public. Otherwise you don't but isn't it the same as discord at that point?

I recall reading an article or something about accessibility a while back. The author had commented that they saw someone coming out government forms on a Nintendo DS (or some such) and that person had commented it was the only thing they had.

I think we developers grossly underestimate how people access technology and what our minimum targets should be.

For something like a government website, I agree. Access for everyone (except maybe a really unreasonable case) should be a priority. For the average web app, I think it would hold the developers and the users back. If half a percent of the web can't use your SAAS, that's fine. If you're developing a product initially - go for the masses.
