  Sigh... This meme of criticizing UX instead of the article is getting old on HN. Email jwz your suggestions. Also have you seen his homepage? http://www.jwz.org/ http://www.jwz.org/ OMG, it's like... So horrible hurts my eyes, god who would care about what jwz says with that design!

    Real hackers care about typography, design, and UX. On HN you're not a real hacker until even your tweets have a colophon.

      Thanks, I just entertained myself for several minutes imagining jwz's reaction to being told he's "not a real hacker on HN"!

        Well, he only ever uses Macs nowadays, so he's almost there :)

  There's an excellent add-on for Firefox called "No Color" that I use whenever I come across sites like these. One click makes it readable again. I'm not affiliated with the developer in any way. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/no-color/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/no-color/

  Are you kidding? This style is awesome. In all seriousness, what issues do you have with it? Reading it on my tablet at night means I don't get blinded by a light background, and the green is something my eyes deal with easily. Honestly, I think his site looks better than most of the same vanilla layouts we see here posted every day.

    Agreed. Early experience with a Model 16 entrained my eyes to appreciate green on black. Jwz is doing it right, reminding us of where we came from.
