Agreed. Just adding some bottom padding to the table cells does wonders for readability: https://imgur.com/9FBgrT9

Exactly. With good padding and a bit of extra white space and maybe a faint border, it would be possible to notice that the description for Airship (w2018) is missing.
I would have done something like this: https://i.imgur.com/Ck96siZ.jpg

Looks like they were in a hurry to get this site out.

From the screenshot it looks identical to their companies list on main site: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/

I'm seeing a lot of this with the .dev sites.

I don't see why .dev domains would have tighter deadlines than .com.

Because if you don't launch today, people won't see that you were eager to spend as much money on the domain as possible (i.e. for Phase 1)...

If you run WHOIS on yc.dev you'll see that it was created prior to the beginning of the early access period yesterday. Also see: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/announ...

They already announced .dev in November, they've had plenty of time to design the website.

People spent more money on them and are eager to show them off.
For a very short period they will be a status symbol for internet companies.

Status symbol? Those who know won't likely be impressed. Those who don't can't be impressed.
That might be what the buyer is hoping for, but the reality is they're probably mistaken.

"Impressed" might not be the right word. Jealous, maybe.
Would I like a .dev domain? Yep. Can I afford it? Nope. Therefore ... status symbol.

The shelf life on most status symbols is limited.

There's no expiration date on having a good domain name, though. If anything their value increases over time.

Because the domain registration just opened up?

And I don't think one need the domain name to start working on a website?

Agreed. We had to rush this page out for a Google-driven deadline. I've just fixed the formatting like you suggested.

I am curious about what that Google-driven deadline might be. Care to elaborate a bit?
Most likely Google's public launch of .dev domains: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19178757.
A little white space would be helpful.
