Can we get some examples of what a good UI looks like then? I would like to see a UI design expert take a couple of these slop designs and show what each should look like according to their taste.
Really not a fan. Like, fairly significantly bad. Text sizing is poorly chosen, the only affordance for navigation or understanding what content is contained within what sections is at the bottom, sections are concentrated together in an overwhelming way (god help me if I’m a frequent visitor primarily interested in “external writings and presentations”), headings and font sizing is variously too close together and too far apart, code blocks are always in a huge font compared to prose, and code blocks blow out the horizontal scroll, meaning that vertical scrolling on mobile is a massive pain in the ass.
There are good examples out there for minimal, straightforward blog design. This ain’t it.

I'll admit that the blog I linked doesn't handle code blocks gracefully specifically on mobile, it's fine on the desktop.

Very true, I’ve procrastinated on fixing that for too long.
