With JavaScript disabled I had to inspect page source and remove "hidden" attributes from divs for content to show up. There's no placeholder text, no attempt to justify the need for JS at all, no consideration of the possibility that someone might be using a JS whitelisting tool (such as NoScript) on the modern Web despite its clear utility. For a blog post.

Aside from that:

I'll give you "descriptive title". I could write this much more directly and pleasantly.

I really feel like this genre of comment should fall under this "don't" from the HN guidelines:

You're willingly disabling a part of web atandards.
