Design of This Website
Sorry, that's not minimalism. gwern.net isn't either; I'd call that "brutalism" instead.
THIS is minimalism: https://manuel.kiessling.net
Precisely in the sense of "NOT a lot going on at all times". Just the content, presented pleasently.
And importantly, it's not only minimalism in look-and-feel, but also technically: even a long post with an embedded image like https://manuel.kiessling.net/2021/05/02/tutorial-react-singl... weighs in at under 200 KiB. Loads in under 3 seconds even on "slow 3G" in Chrome. 362 milliseconds via my office's wifi.
Also, no JavaScript. Nothing moves or jumps. Perfectly usable and consumable in a CLI browser like Lynx.
All of that without looking brutalist.

Technical blogging in the era of Stack Overflow
It’s also a great extension of a CV, at least I see my https://manuel.kiessling.net blog that way.

Small B Blogging (2018)
I have a very oldschool "FTP webspace" with Ionos (from 1&1) - it's really just your run-of-the-mill static website hosting package, basically unchanged since the late nineties.
Well, it surely changed a lot under the hood from the provider's perspective, I assume, but from the user's perspective, it works as it has always worked: you have a domain, you have an (S)FTP account, you upload your static HTML/CSS files, et voilá, you have a homepage/blog.
I create my HTML/CSS locally using Hugo. The source for my homepage and its blog posts can be seen at https://github.com/manuelkiessling/manuel.kiessling.net.
Super simple, no headaches, no downtimes. Less than 4 bucks per month.
I do depend on Ionos, of course, but as it's only HTML and CSS, it with every web site hosting solution on the planet.
I also depend on Hugo, of course, but Hugo is open source, and I've even stored the Hugo binaries for different platforms locally.
My homepage is at https://manuel.kiessling.net/.

Concrete.css
As it is often said in various designer forums, please avoid pure white (#FFFFFF) on black (here #111111), as it makes the text glow for the human eyes (therefore making it unreadable for long text). Instead, try to lower a bit the contrast on the text color.
Also, the dispositions for the buttons at the beginning (GitHub, NPM, ...) are not adjusted correctly for keyboard navigation (each button requires two tabs).
Appart from that, I do like a minimalist stylesheet, so I will also recommend Tufte CSS [0] for readers.

Tailwind vs. Semantic CSS
CSS and HTML is great for documents - not so great for applications. Most sites end up implementing their own navigation UI/UX at a minimum (an application) - many end up as more applications.
For an example of "documents", see eg:
