Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The linked site is Thomas Parisot's personal blog, cited in a thread about a failed startup to show it predates the company. The only comment on it criticises the site's design, not its writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
To be fair, it seems the site is his personal blog as well [1], well before he started the homonymous company. It's still a garish design anti-pattern, nonetheless. All this baroque excess of late with gigantic fonts in the name of "space" and "readability" really needs to stop. [1] https://oncletom.io/
