Can anyone else read that white text on a light grey background?

  Author: Oops, I fixed the inline code snippets but accidentally broke the blocks. I'll push out a fix shortly. Edit: Should be fixed (might need a hard reload). It turns out inverting something twice doesn't really do much.

  The white and orange/brown are hard to read for me. Both have less than 1.5 contrast in the chrome dev tools. To continue on the nitpicks, I think there's a typo, the procedural macros have "drive" instead of "derive". And the boxes of code taking all the page compared to the "terminal" text make it a bit hard to "get" the flow of the page. Other than that it was a nice read, and the grey background is nice and easy on the eyes. I really like the breadcrumbs too, they act as a minimalist menu and easily clickable URL.

    Thanks for the feedback. I think now that the bug with the syntax highlighting is fixed the accessibility should be ok. I need to find a better way to test though because I am using the "invert" hack for the light theme and the build-in accessibility checker for Chromium and Firefox don't appear to take this into consideration. I'll need to find a basic calculator and do the math manually when I have time. Typo fixed. Thanks for the flow feedback, I thought the full-width code was cool and it can help for wide code without making the page text too wide (it allows the code to grow to the right) but maybe it is more confusing than it is worth. And thanks for the feedback on the background and breadcrumbs, it is good to hear both positive and negative thoughts.

      Thanks, it's way easier to read now. The flow feedback is very personal, feel free to ignore it. After rewatching the article, I like how unique it is.
