The irony of this happening on an article talking about bad design...

It's not ironic; it just demonstrates that design is hard to get right.

It's not hard to design a web page that's 95% text and which lets the user adjust the font size via the browser's zoom controls.
Yup, but while making the window smaller to write this I noticed I can make it a small window, about the size of my phone, to get text that is reasonable.
The site, giving UI advice, is written assuming your display is always ~7" ?
I thought that the site must be designed for mainly mobile, so I switched mobile mode on in the dev tools in firefox. However then there is some menu header text overlapping the main body.
It seems the design of this site is very much style over function.

Text on safari mobile is too small for my bad eyes and increasing font size does… not increase font size.
This is one of the worst cases of this I have seen. It is literally unreadable for me. Normally I can use browser zoom to sort it out, but this beauty even defeats that workaround.
