I find it ironic that his website looks like hot garbage on a modern ultrawide display.
I realize that it's over 20 years old and it still looks bad at 1280x1024 which was the resolution I was using back then as a poor college student with a second hand 19" Sony Trinitron that had a dodgy VGA cable you had to hold up just right with a coat hanger.

- cptskippy 4y agoThat's a completely reasonable expectation and they never have to my knowledge. So the author, having lived through the computing sea change of the 80s and 90s, who said "those who have content generally value being readable" should have anticipated higher resolution displays and took steps to ensure readability.
