I get the impression from that the author is an ancient backend, who just discovered the box model.

"Hey, black text is easier to read on a white background!" Yaaaa, no shit.

Having seen a number of HNers personal websites, they could absolutely stand to benefit from a simple article like this. Many of them are more interested in talking about how minimal their static site generator is, rather than whether the content on said site is readable or even mobile friendly.

These were my sentiments exactly while exploring other peoples personal websites before making mine! Thank you.
