A client's new website went live and we missed the alt text on every single image

It was a bad Tuesday when I got a call from a regular client who is blind. He said his screen reader was just saying 'image' over and over on their new site. I checked the code and sure enough, we had rushed the launch and skipped all the alt descriptions. I spent the next two days going back through 47 product photos to write proper text. What's your go-to method for making sure alt text doesn't get missed in a last-minute push?

Hot take: I finally switched from Mint to YNAB for my budget after 6 months of trying to make Mint work.

Honestly, Mint just felt like a tracker for my bad choices, but YNAB's 'give every dollar a job' thing actually forced me to plan ahead and I saved $400 last month, so has anyone else made a switch that actually stuck?

PSA: I swore by electric forges until our block's grid went down

A big storm cut power for two days, and my work stalled. My neighbor let me use his propane forge to finish a gate order on time. Now I keep a small propane kit handy for emergencies.
