seems to conflate really legitimate stuff with personal UI preferences. love his writing always.
I’m building a personal website right now and I want to use a static site generator to handle rendering markdown to html and shoving microformats2 markup into pages. Easy stuff. I would like to maintain a Neocities-style aesthetic and I am having to fight the default theme to make it less slick/professional looking (despite light page loads). So I don’t think it’s quite necessary to align that Paypal UI (that I find pretty painful-looking) or Minecraft-rough-edges with the virtues of efficiency and accessibility. Light and simple CSS can create slick whitespace-heavy designs that he also won’t like but that are just as efficient and easy to copy and modify. (This is sort of acknowledged around the Taft Test but then elided in his final conclusions)
