These one shot vibecoded sites are always a complete visual headache. Endless clutter, pointless filler text all over the place, and zero regard for actual usability.
This site proves to me that the better you are at the things that matter most in your niche, the more you can get away with not even trying in other areas.
This is more like an exception than the norm and Berkshire is not really something to generalize.
Most investment funds of that size do chose to maintain proper websites.
This is more like Berkshire branding, look at Warren living in the same house despite having billions (while conviniently ignoring dude owns personal jets), look how we have such a grandpa website, look at our humble branding, we are not like the other greedy bankers and are perfectly moral agents you can "trust" etc.

A profoundly polite way to tell someone to stuff it.
Nah, if this was the OP website you’d be complaining that it tells you nothing and you have no idea what they do or what they are presenting still. Also that it looks like shit on mobile. You’re just glazing the company in this case.
You should go with the canonical HN quality website references: McMaster-Carr, Craigslist
McMaster’s paper catalogs were phenomenal, with an organization that quickly surfaced the part you wanted and often taught you taxonomy if you were looking for something unusual to you. A true masterpiece and they clearly carried their philosophy to their web design
this is a great example for me to use in meetings. I often see people looking for "good" examples of web design from fortune 500 companies or similar. Gonna use this to throw a wrench in that one soon.
