It's ironic that I confusedly searched the header for links to other parts of his blog, before realising that he had actually followed his own advice and put everything in the footer. Man, I hate these broad reductive arguments. They never consider the trade-offs and focus on a single arbitrary principle. Once you actually try to design something, you'll realise just how many conflicting requirements need to be juggled. I don't agree that hamburger menus hurt accessibility. I've never seen a user confused about them. I can navigate them just fine with the keyboard [1]. Further, they match how I interact with most marketing- & news pages. I first scan the landing page for useful details, and then look for specifics in the menu. Having this list at the bottom of the landing page would require scrolling. Having all the links visible at the top would make it harder to get through the landing page. The trade-off presented here forces you to loose your scroll position every time you want to access the menu. [1]: Don't forget that Safari requires holding down option to focus links
