Oh wow, great read... I wish I had seen that earlier. Thanks for sharing! To elaborate, the rabbit hole I remember going down was something like googling "how to center css", then after being confused by a number of horrible incantations, arrived at flexbox then CSS grid, which was slightly less confusing, and then I took some time to really study the basics/fundamentals.

It also doesn't help that so many websites, even personal sites/portfolios these days, have so much markup goop and cruft that makes it quite hard to learn by example :(

Although Jeremy Thomas' design might be more complete, I do like the minimalism of your approach - a few lines that can be dropped into a page to quickly take it from unreadable to a pleasant experience. The only things I'd add are font-family: "San Francisco", "Helvetica", sans-serif;, and perhaps line-height: 1.5.
