Haven't started reading yet, but I'm really digging this trend of syntax-highlighted bare text blogs[0]. Is this a template or is it hand-crafted?

And yes one of the main things I had to integrate myself was syntax highlighting (via pygments).
FWIW, I think proportional fonts for text and fixed width for code is more readable.
A few people asked me about the tools, and I dumped them here (but they are not supported, may not be runnable):
