>Simplicity is key
This isn't simplicity...
I need a beer.
I think you have the year off by one (2020) on your datestamp.
Note that closing tags are optional † , so one can be an HTML purist and still write a decent HTML document with a relatively clean markup like this: Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis id maximus tortor. Sed nisi ante, fermentum vel nunc et, tincidunt sagittis magna. In ultrices commodo lacus, id tristique ipsum euismod laoreet. Maecenas at neque posuere, aliquet era…
> the opening tag is optional too but I retained it in the above example to specify the lang > Yeah, no. The text is in Latin (la), not in English (en).
So, instead of using semantic html and css like 'white-space: pre-line' and 'max-width: 40ch' author wrapped content of his blog post into 'code' tag and called it 'next-gen'. What is 'next-gen' about it? Either I am missing something or I'm not drunk enough. Worst thing it has 100 upvotes :/ >Simplicity is key This isn't simplicity... I need a beer.

The CSS the author uses (style.css) has both 'white-space: pre-line;' (line 6) and 'max-width: 640px;' (line 18). https://inoads.com/style.css

If this is "next gen", I think I'll stick to using emmet-mode in Emacs to write raw HTML, templating with m4 macros, validating with tidy, and doing the build and deployment with a makefile.
I don't really see how this can be next-gen when it strips out any semantic elements.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
To be fair, you did write your post in Latin: > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. > Duis id maximus tortor. Sed nisi ante, fermentum vel nunc > et, tincidunt sagittis magna. In ultrices commodo lacus, id > tristique ipsum euismod laoreet.
Hmm I always thought lorem ipsum was a text with letter usage histograms similar to English, without distracting the reader with meaning. I could have sworn I read that somewhere...
It does likely have relatively similar usage patterns to English in terms of letter distribution, if only because they're both indo-european languages and English has deep vocabulary ties to Latin through Norman influences.
