I know your question was rhetorical but I'll answer it.

Its actually terrible to read on a wide monitor. If you were to give the content a max-width with some gutters its easier for your eyes to follow the lines. I always start reading a line that I just read! I'm talking about adding less than 10 lines of CSS, nothin major.




That's easier to fix. Just resize your window. Heck, if you use Firefox you can just press ctrl+alt+m for a mobile-like view without resizing the window.


Protip: You can resize the browser window.


And then resize it again when you switch to a different tab. Or I guess you could pop every tab out to its own window like it's 2003.


I'm writing this on a 21:9 monitor. Code on one side, documentation on the other.


It's puzzling that browser defaults are still so bad at this.


Annoying, but not puzzling. Nobody wants to break old sites that rely on the old defaults.
