This site doesn’t tell its encoding (neither via HTTP nor via meta tags), so my Firefox displayed the first sentence as “There are lots of ГЎ la carte software...”.
Also, I don’t understand why the article was written, every software developer makes their own decisions that not everyone will like — isn’t that obvious?

- bdcravens 14y agoThis is just his blog. He's the chef of a framework, not an avowed HTML guru. Have you seen the design for YCombinator.com? 1998 called and it wants its Arial font, <table> and <center> tags back. By your logic, YCombinator is worthless for helping Web startups launch.

- Firehed 14y agoYes, but frameworks are supposed to solve issues like UTF8 encoding by setting up sane defaults automatically. If I wanted to deal with solved problems myself, I wouldn't be using a framework. Also, YC's crappy HTML doesn't make the site less useful for visitors. This blog's poor unicode support does.
