I assume the creator didn't anticipate this amount of readers at the same time and having one or two other cursors on the page does sound fun and not too distracting. They should probably limit the maximum amount of other cursors displayed to a sensible amount

Not every website, even technical ones, need to have an eye towards professional advancement. Sometimes they're just for fun. I welcome it, as it's a thing that gets more rare on the web as time goes by.

Considering the dark mode is effectively flashlight mode, I think it's reasonable to assume the blog's owner just likes to have a bit of fun.

> people don't get hired to have fun
Living by that motto is hugely self-destructive.
Creative expression allows us to push ourselves, both in what we think we can do, and often the technical aspects about how we do it too. Even if the idea doesn't stick, you've tried something new.
In a world of Tailwinds and Bootstraps and the same five templates copied again and again and again, let's celebrate the people willing to push things and learn from their inevitable but ultimately valuable mistakes. And let's have some fun along the way.
because it shows that they don't understand important design aspects
while it doesn't really show off their technical skills because it could be some plugin or copy pasted code, only someone who looks at the code would know better. But if someone care enough about you to look at your code you don't need to show of that skill on you normal web-site and can have some separate tech demo.
