Railing against `curl https://foo/ | sh`? I guess security theater's not just for the TSA.

(Do be aware of pastejacking though, but this is not nearly an important enough issue for a wall of shame)

EDIT: We can all learn something from the readability of that page though. One zoom and it's better than 90% of the websites I've seen. Text -- it works.

Monospaced font.

Can't click links. Pain to select them on the phone.

No way to skim through since lines are the same and you can't quickly detect individual items in the list.

Doesn't work too well with Safari's Reading View — whole thing is a single paragraph.

It's in markdown already, why not spend 3 minutes and setup rendering to at least plain p, h and a tags.

Monospaced typefaces have never been good for readability.

I beg to differ. There is so much botched typography on the internet and widespread use of Arial-like fonts that monospaced, while not ideal, is far from the worst of choices.
