For this new trend of monospaced fonts on a blog - just keep in mind that proportional fonts and the entire study of kerning exists to improve readability. Monospaced fonts, while not bad, aren't optimal for reading long form text.

I agree with you as a ux guy but I also have to admit this blog was more readable than most, at least on mobile.

A fun thought: monospaced fonts are appealing to developers because we spend a bunch of time looking at them.
