For all the rust programming you do on your phone?

There's absolutely no reason to not make a website responsive. Its even expected considering how little effort it takes.

It would slightly defeat the point of arranging it the way it is.

But I also don't think the arrangement is that useful.

Nothing to do with the content, but not sure there's not reason - it seems a lot of responsive websites are low density and poorly formatted on desktop just so it is mobile-first. Just based on observations, doesn't seem like it's little effort for most people.

I occasionally read about programming when I'm not programming. Some of that reading happens on my phone.

Blogs sure. This is a reference. Seems silly to potentially compromise the UI for its primary purpose just so random people from HN can better read it from the toilet.

Is it a reference? It doesn't look like something anyone would consistently be reaching for. It looks more like a fun visualization of some core concepts, something you would show people as a cool thing you made.

Even if it was a reference, the same criticism about left-right scrolling would still apply, at least if you're using the combination of resolution and DPI that people like me do. In fact, if it's meant to be a reference, then it's even more important to make it ergonomic.
