First, this is pretty rough what happened to the person. My condolences.

Second, completely tangential to the content of the blog post: Was anyone else surprised by the number of comments/"mentions"/likes/reposts? I haven't seen so much activity on a single blog post in years. Normally, blog posts that accept comments have 10 or less comments. This one has hundreds.

It looks like a Bluesky integration which will get a lot more engagement than a blog post. The author was a "CSS advocate" at Google, which implies a strong emphasis on networking.

I guess this also explains why the site is so fancy that I can't scroll it without my phone lagging horribly lol

I was going to suggest you to use reader mode, but firefox's reader mode doesn't detect the main content here, but rather the comments.
