I think even if he had time, he wouldn't change that page much. _simplicity_ is his philosophy. A page that you can edit with the most basic tools and publish in terminal is totally aligned with that. The page does its job, anything else is unnecessary clutter.

I mean you can't argue with it. If you want a page like this, you only need to know HTML, FTP, a text editor.
Meanwhile my attempted personal website, 'simply' github pages, also requires you to know about Hugo, which requires a ruby runtime locally; markdown, css, js, Git, Github, Github's two-factor authentication, etc.
I mean it won't win any design awards but basic html for infrequently updated websites is absolutely fine.
