Apologies for the irreverent comment, but what an amazing example of typeface not matching the tone of the content!
It's not irrelevant. I think the whole post was close to illegible.

Hopefully he didn't use the same font for his CV

Friendly advice, learn more about typography and readability.. Had to copy&paste to an editor to read the text.
I agree the design choices are unfortunate, but (all?) common browsers have a readability mode like a single click away.
my HN client (Octal) opens reader mode automatically. i had to re-open the site and disable it to see this font! i was not disappointed, that was very... unique.
Most comments so far seem to revolve around the look of the blog post. Mine will be no different, since I just barely avoided a migraine headache by not reading more than a sentence. The contrast is way off.
That font and the contrast gives me a headache.
Is it just me, why is it so so difficult to read? the fonts are hurting my eyes.
Don't worry, it's not just you :)
I also had to close the page immediately.

If the author thinks that page looks good, no wonder they are having trouble getting hired.

Super easy to read, but I prefer darkmode
Just tou, i like the font
I didn't like the font.
Please don't be acerbic in HN threads.

Ok, fair.
To everyone bitching about the font: get a life and stop allowing custom fonts if you're going to be whining about things you don't like. NoScript, uBlock, they all do it.
