Do other people react as strongly as I did to the lack of capitalisation at the start of sentences? The post is generally "well" written with good grammar and punctuation so I find it strange - it feels like a style choice. But the style choice just instinctively makes part of my brain feel like it's written by a child.

My brain tends to self-correct what it's reading these kinds of posts, and considering the author of the post has replied to the comments here in the same style, I see two options for the style. It's either done for speed, or the shift key is mapped to something else, making typing one-off capitals harder.

That might equally be a stylistic choice, but I my gut says it's not.

my shift key is there i just have conscientiously objected to it

It comes across as saying "fuck you" to your readers.

FWIW, not to me. Variety is the spice of life. It’s their blog, they should use whatever style they feel like using.

Besides, is lowercase poetry a fuck you to the reader as well?

This is not an art exhibition. Conventions have a purpose. Capitalization is not a random spelling quirk, there’s a reason why we have it. The upvote balance on my comment confirms that it’s something to consider. The “fuck you” was in reference to the author’s comment, not just to his blog post.
