  • In this episode of the Mechanical Ink podcast, host Schalk Neethling sits down with Ethan Marcotte, a prominent figure in web design known for coining the term "responsive web design." Ethan's journey in the design world spans over two decades, during which he has significantly influenced how websites are created and experienced across various devices.Beyond his contributions to design, Ethan has become a vocal advocate for labor rights in the tech industry. His book, "You Deserve a Tech Union," delves into the importance of unionization, especially in an industry marked by precarity and frequent layoffs. Through collective bargaining, tech workers can secure better working conditions, fair wages, and job security, which are often lacking in the current pro-business U.S. labor landscape.The episode also touches on the ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence. Ethan expressed concerns about the use of training data without proper consent and the broader implications of AI on labor. His proactive stance includes measures to prevent AI platforms from using his website's content, highlighting the need for greater control and transparency in how AI technologies operate.Accessibility remains a cornerstone of Ethan's vision for the web. He argues that web accessibility should be integrated from the start, rather than being an afterthought. This approach ensures that all users, regardless of their abilities, can interact with web content effectively. Design systems play a crucial role in achieving this by providing a structured approach to creating accessible and performant web components, but there needs to be support and buy-in at an organizational level.As the tech industry continues to evolve, Ethan's insights offer valuable guidance on navigating its complexities. His advocacy for responsive design, worker power, and ethical AI underscores the need for a more inclusive, fair, and thoughtful approach to technology. By embracing these principles, we can build a better web that serves everyone.Links* Ethan Marcotte on LinkedIn* Ethan Marcotte on the web* You deserve a tech union* Co-op Series Part I: Our decision to pursue worker-ownership* The ShopTalk Show podcast* Ursula Franklin - The Real World of Technology* Making version noir* Erika Hall’s chicken pics* Mandy Brown’s, A Working Library* Mandy Brown - Everything changes* Schalk Neethling on LinkedIn* Mechanical Ink StudioCommunity* Join the community on Slack* Recorded with Riverside.fm (Affiliate link)Help Others Find The Podcast* Rate and review on Spotify* Rate and review on Apple PodcastsThanks for reading Mechanical Ink Studio - Open Source - Open Web!
