hey just curious, any reason why some of these articles I see from time to time don't apply some simply CSS? I don't mind the raw html, I'm mostly wondering if there's some benefit to it that I might not be aware of.

Just a guess, but the folks interested in low level graphics programming are probably the same people who would want to stay away from bloated frontends?

A simple blog post doesn't need super fancy design when its content can speak for itself.

The site definitely has CSS, just not a lot of it.

Indeed. I used as little CSS as I could because I love minimalist websites. And the lack of syntax highlighting was inspired by Go blog, for example. :)

Raw HTML definitely looks much uglier, sadly (“Reader mode” in most browsers makes websites without CSS easily readable, though!).
