Great stuff. How did you find those? My favourites: http://alexandrerochet.com http://alexandrerochet.com http://timroussilhe.com http://timroussilhe.com Those are experiences. I'll update my website to be so awesome when I get some time for it (bit difficult while managing a team). My own site, wanted to update it ever since. Not really an eye-catcher, I know. It uses Grav CMS, it's a great CMS (and file-based). https://samuelantonioli.de https://samuelantonioli.de And the website of my agency (it's German) http://funkhaus.io http://funkhaus.io Would love to hear some feedback, especially browser quirks.

I find links by clicking on different Twitter users' links or clicking around on "indieweb" blogs. But today has been amazing - having a chance to look at a variety of designs and blogs shared by their creators. These designs you linked are more modern than the others that I've seen. It made me realize that there is a lot of nostaglia - either utter minimalism or vaporwave - floating around in personal pages right now - which I do enjoy. But these go in giant page directions. Another good example in this direction is: http://aaf.nyc http://aaf.nyc. It's not a long page, but has a large feeling.

  Never knew that so many developers go to such extremes w.r.t minimalism. The site you've linked has great videos in the background and I like the animated logo, that really helps in making it interesting. Personally, I still prefer those sites I've linked, because I know that they are harder to make than those minimalistic/no-css sites. I think it depends if it's a backend dev or a full stack web dev with a focus on UI/UX. In the latter case, it's a good way to show off what you're capable of. With those minimalistic designs (some of them also have bad UX) I don't really know if they're able to create modern, responsive and more complex websites.
