Sorry to nag, but I haven't yet brought myself to make it past the first paragraph. Maybe it looks elegant or classy on someone else's screen, but I had to go re-enable Evernote Clearly just to be able to read it. Am I the only one?
Seriously, it's the third perfectly fine article I read today where a quite high voted comment (with tons of children comments) is "I hate to be that guy, but your text has bad kerning on [some precise browser version].
(on the other hand, this one might be justified. Just checked on Chrome, and all the 't's miss their bars. It might qualify as unreadable. My (and your) point still stands for 99% of the other such complaints, though)
I'm sure it looks fine in the authors browser/OS of choice, but it is not usable in mine - regardless of the merits of the content.
No, you're not. I would much rather read high quality discussion about the content at hand. However, I'm reading using Chrome on Windows 7, and I literally had to open the developer console and change the font to be able to read the article. Like others have mentioned, it wasn't just hard to read, some of the characters were actually indistinguishable.
When readability gets that bad, I think it make sense for the topic to show up in these comment threads. Maybe someone will be around to fix the issue. Maybe others will learn about what happens when you don't test a site in different browsers.
I know everyone opts for fancy, though!
Was about to post the same complaint :)
Aside from that minor nitpick, I learned something new and valuable, so it's worth reading if you don't already know about git rebase.
I don't see anything wrong with complaining about this. It's feedback for the author. Would you not complain if someone posted an invisible article, to which you need to apply some trick to make it appear? Would you not want to know why potential readers/subscribers are bouncing?
Another thing I usually hate in these blogs: small fonts. But at least I can just do ctrl+, so I never complain about that. But still hate it.
Ya know what. It looks fine in Firefox, but that font looks like garbage rendered in Chrome. I don't know if it's the font-family or the font-size, but something's making me want to scratch my eyes out or make me want to kill my screen with fire.
It's probably an unfair generalization to assume that all female Python developers don't use Chrome.
I'd rather it just be left at default, but at least it's readable.
