It's not the author's fault, directly – it's a problem with the platform (syrah.co). I upped the font-weight from 300 to 400 in Chrome dev tools, and everything was instantly better.
I'm the author of the post and I wrote the entire site's codebase (syrah.co), and I did all the design, so it's all on me. You're right, we will be fixing this in an update soon. Syrah is still in beta and we weren't quite expecting this to get as widely read as it's becoming, so hopefully you'll forgive the crappy formatting :)
Reader View / RSS also cuts off right before the tweet FYI.
EDIT: I was under the presumption that reader view used RSS, which it turns out it may not. Anyway, very good article with a lot of good facts, forgot to mention that in my slight rant about styling on the web above :)
Ha, completely fair and appreciate the feedback. I happen to like it the way it is, but the general consensus does not agree with me, so we'll fix it soon.
Wish I had a browser extension that changed any font weight lower than 400 to 400, any foreground color lighter than #e8e8e8 or so to #e8e8e8 and any background color darker than #101010 to #101010.

I'd say the author is pretty directly responsible; he is the CEO and founder of the platform :-)
Personally I just switched to reader mode, but that's not actionable feedback.
I know, I'm the worst :( Thanks for the feedback :)

Didn't know RSS worked at all, actually, as I definitely haven't written any code to support it. Thanks for the info.
