Haven't started reading yet, but I'm really digging this trend of syntax-highlighted bare text blogs[0]. Is this a template or is it hand-crafted?

Currently I'm using a modified version of the after-dark[0] theme for Zola.

Not related to this site, but my site is "hand-crafted':

And yes one of the main things I had to integrate myself was syntax highlighting (via pygments).
FWIW, I think proportional fonts for text and fixed width for code is more readable.
A few people asked me about the tools, and I dumped them here (but they are not supported, may not be runnable):

I do like the simplicity, but the lack of proportional fonts for the text makes reading much more effort than it should be. There's a reason printers have used proportion and serifs for centuries.
The website seems to be using a template [0], and the CSS is a framework [1].
