This is so ironic with a comment about UI & UX.

Is the end user (commenter) responsible for UX or the HN web designer. In this case I'd argue both are.

It's more readable on desktop as well. Long lines in HN's code blocks render with horizontal scrollbars - using them to quote paragraphs is downright obnoxious.

Worse is that the horizontal scrollbars don't render (at least for me) unless I start scrolling the box, so it looked like there was just some missing text.
* Visual hierarchy (I.e. the same way you divide your code in modules and functions, you need to divide the visual space in a clear hierarchy).
* Basic on typography (It makes a big difference even if most people don't notice it)
* Understanding what's UX (I.e. reading "Don't make me think"). Just "caring" and "thinking" about UX will improve designs, even if you don't have much experience.
* Basic of color theory; How different colors mean different things (Branding-wise or for alerts/errors/warning).
