Notably the brand is for a chili and condiment company. In that field, recalling nostalgia and your grandma's recipes makes sense. But no one wants to use their grandma's old software

900px is not normal - that's tiny by today's standards. The only plausible alternative at a width that small would be to shrink the size of the text in the menu, otherwise it simply won't fit. Doing that would be worse to me for usability than switching to the hamburger.
Sorry I don't think you're correct here. There is a ton of wasted space here. https://imgur.com/a/COfKBYM Definitely room for an actual menu there. Either way, a hidden hamburger menu makes 0 sense on a desktop environment anyway, no matter how much space you have.

> 900px is not normal - that's tiny by today's standards. Wait what? That's tiny for a screen, but not for a (resizable!) browser window. Here's a shout-out for folks like me who run browser windows side-by-side.

And I don't think you're correct. There are 5 menu items + log in + the API docs button on the main header. If you want all those to fit in a sub-standard width page, you're going to end up sacrificing readability in text. If you want to propose removing a menu item to make more space, that's an option, but just saying "I don't like the hamburger - they could fit the menu somehow" is not helpful.

Side-by-side windows are simply not used by normal users, which the vast majority of websites are designed for. The real question here is why don't you have a second monitor?
I learned a new word today! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilloché
I saw an article about how a 21 year old brand logo (Lao Gan Ma 老干妈 chili sauce) became a fashion icon[0] for Chinese Fashion Week and wondered what the Western world would be like if companies didn't rebrand so often. The Lao Gan Ma logo certainly wouldn't have the same cachet if it was a 2 year old logo that looked nothing like the original[1]. Is it possible to make brands (or software) that's just "done?"

uhh most users don't have a second monitor. and you don't just design for "most." quite a lazy mindset around here.

What you do is fit the important stuff and hide the rest under a "more..." just because it ALL can't fit doesn't mean hiding everything is the only solution.
