Aside: what is with the trend of omitting capitalization from blog posts? I get it when people are writing tweets/texts/whatever short-form media, but for a full blog post? I find it makes it harder to read. Am I alone in this?

Yeah, I tried to read the post and was immediately put off by the lack of capitalization. Then I came to the comments and had to fight the urge to ask “why not capitals”

without autocorrect everything i type is in lowercase because it requires less effort think of all of the time and effort you wasted in life hitting the shift key why also punctuation

Counter argument:
Unless you are writing for yourself, then you are communicating with others. If you want others to be able to understand what you are saying, then you would benefit from doing what every presenter is taught to do for any event or slide deck - cater to your audience. In the case of long form written media, that means using punctuation and capitals.

WHY WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT YOU CAN USE CAPSLOCK IT GETS MORE ATTENTION AND YOU CAN STILL ABSTAIN FROM PUNCTUATION

It's like how e. e. cummings wrote his name.

I didn’t even notice it but went back and it is indeed very weird. I wonder what the reason is.

I have never heard anyone mention this, ever.

Weird. It's been around for years. A lot of open source projects use it, among other things.
