Oof ... default font sizes on that blog are obnoxiously large. Paragraph font size is barely smaller than the header size.

Makes the whole thing unreadable since you are constantly scrolling to fit the next tiny chunk of text onto the screen. It is impossible to read at any sort of reasonable pace.

Nah, it's the perfect size actually (I am using a laptop, I don't know how it is on mobile screens)
i can't read without zooming text, and i generally appreciate larger text on some sites.

Cmd+- to opt out, as usual :)

Same here, I don’t want to squint to read cool 10pt font, I prefer to see 16pt easily. I’m not fifteen anymore, my eyes need all the help they can get :)
It's almost like font size should have been solely a per-user setting in the browser, and not a per-page setting.
