> I'm curious what makes this an out-of-date design.

I'm not a designer myself but the things that strike me immediately are that the fonts and colors seem out of fashion and the site looks somewhat awkward on mobile. But that's my whole point. You wouldn't want those things on the homepage of a startup, but this isn't that. It's just a simple blog and it does a good job of being a simple blog.

> site looks somewhat awkward on mobile

Ah... yeah I'm on my desktop right now so didn't even think about that. I don't love the colors/ fonts or justification, but they also don't interfere with readability which is my #1 criteria for evaluating a site.

Text is a 25 x 16 grid of characters on my phone. Luckily I read it first on my computer. Reader mode does help though.
