#42The overly curse happy programmer speak is so very stale. I'm not offended or anything but it's just not that great. It doesn't make the content more interesting. It doesn't make the author seem any cooler. It's just meh. It reminds me of Epic Meal Time; a facade of coolness based on cursing, alcohol and over the top food.
I love that instead of this style we're getting a new generation of programmers who are genuinely nice, calm and friendly. People such as Bob Nystrom or Andreas Kling, who don't feel the need to curse every few lines.

#43From " http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ " which is one up the chain: > A little less contrast WHY. WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS. To give this person credit they have at least chosen some sensible values, rather than gone with something that was just about enough on an expensive graphic designer high-contrast monitor and then not tested it on anything else. Leaving the rest of us squinting to try and read text or manua…
If everyone could agree to not use black-on-white, we could set our monitor brightness to a sane value and have enough contrast to read. In order to read black on white text, I have to turn my backlight down to like 10%, and then turn it up to about 40% to watch a movie.
More contrast isn't always better, or you would read text by printing out foil stencils and aiming them directly at the sun to read.

#44> And did you let the browser choose the font? Don’t make me read such text with Times New Roman. I don't understand this attitude. If you don't like Times New Roman, why don't you change your browser's default font?

Most websites are not designed for you, the 0.5% of users who are running some personalized style sheet override. They’re designed for the other 99.5% of people who don’t even realize that’s possible.

#45Seriously, some minimal fucking things are needed to make this shit perfect.
What's with the long ID's that look auto-generated? Imagine a large site with this pattern. Does it has a purpose, or is it part of the byte-wasting satire?
Also, after developing large dynamic websites with jQuery I learned that using classes instead of ids is a better strategy.

#46"Fuck" is used here almost as frequently as it is in the book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck I made it about two pages into that book before I stopped giving a fuck about reading it. I made it to the first headline before I stop giving a fuck about reading this website. If that was the goal, nailed it. Swearing for effect can work sometimes, but YMMV. It lost me in this case.
> Swearing for effect can work sometimes
For effect, it needs to be used sparingly. Otherwise, turns into white noise.

#47Today, a lot of (commercial) web design is done just to compensate for the lack of (quality) content. That reminds me of that story about a blogger who spends more time designing a blog than writing articles.
My advice to young web authors would be to spend more time on content than design. In the end, it doesn't really matter if you used system font (like Arial) or Google font, or if your background is #EEE or #FFF. Just don't make unaccessible sites
BTW: I am aware that average internet users don't think this way

Yes, yes it is.
And it ain't just the fonts…

#49This reminds me of one of the early internet's most (in)famous bloggers, Maddox. It matches the tone exactly. Maddox said some very inflammatory things, so I won't link him.
Here is the link for people that understand satire: http://maddox.xmission.com/
