9px font. So, an article for software developers under 30 ;)? (Firefox says <body> = 2em, <html> = 62.5%)

EDIT: I misread Firefox's calculation. Checking again it doesn't say 9px but 16.25px. I guess I just have tired eyes today!

If the result of that calculation is 9px for you, your browser's default font is set to ~7px. That's even smaller than Chrome's "Very small" preset of 9px, and significantly smaller than the normal default of 16px.

I'd say that's on you.
