Sorry to nag, but I haven't yet brought myself to make it past the first paragraph. Maybe it looks elegant or classy on someone else's screen, but I had to go re-enable Evernote Clearly just to be able to read it. Am I the only one?

Chrome 25 on Windows here and the same problem -- the font has extraordinarily poor hinting (or Chrome is malfunctioning), leading to critical elements of the text being discarded at that size.

Ya know what. It looks fine in Firefox, but that font looks like garbage rendered in Chrome. I don't know if it's the font-family or the font-size, but something's making me want to scratch my eyes out or make me want to kill my screen with fire.

It's probably an unfair generalization to assume that all female Python developers don't use Chrome.

Same here, can barely read it so I sent it to Pocket to read later.

You're right, it is unfair to generalize that all female Python developers don't use Chrome. Wonder if it looks better on a Mac in Chrome; it looks terrible in Chrome on Windows.

Chrome and thin fonts don't mix well. That said, I still don't understand why people use thin fonts for body copy. It reduces readability so much (even on FF where the rendering is fine).

It's a shame because Quicksand looks like a great Sans Serif font. I hope that the immediate repulsion I felt when I opened this article doesn't detract from people reading the great gentle introduction to using rebase.

Not just Chrome: It's pretty terrible on older Firefoxes too. Firefox 16 here, and while it's not as bad as Chrome, its not very great either.

The content of the article was great, but I had to remove the font-family style from the body tag with Firebug due to the way Firefox was handling aliasing on the font.

Aside from that minor nitpick, I learned something new and valuable, so it's worth reading if you don't already know about git rebase.
