Not to besmirch the quality of the content or the opinions of the author but highlighter yellow as a website background in 2026. Why?!?!?

To highlight the reason dark mode should be default?

The guy writes a lot about UI design and I guess, bad/unexpected design amuses him. The hamburger menu uses an actual hamburger for the icon. In the winter, it will also snow on the webpage, with snowflakes covering up the content. And if you're on desktop, you should try the dark mode.

If my guy was out there to subvert my expectations, he got me. Still bad. But bad with a purpose?

I mean, I'm saying, I genuinely believe it's just there to amuse the author, and whoever may share the same humor.

Lots of webpages were quirky like that, before it all got commercialized...
