Whenever I see a front-page link about Rails, I always think, "I bet the top comment threads will be about the font or layout rather than the content". Click, and... yep!

It's been about ten years, and you don't see as many Rails posts as you used to, but it still holds true!

I've also been around for getting on 10 years (ok, 8.8, close enough) and this is literally the first time I have heard anyone compliment the typography of a Rails post, let alone noticed it occurring enough to become an identifiable trend.

Am I missing some sort of joke?

I don't understand the correlation between the font and it being a post about Rails.
probably due to the fact that rails tends to be more accessible for junior frontend devs or designers guys that want to try some backend stuff
