To bad that they waste 1/3rd of that site on one giant useless grey bitmap. And the rest of the text you must scroll through.
I mean, come on, you are not going to learn C# on a tablet, but on a desktop computer with a big screen at 75 cm of your nose.
That site should be optimized for desktop.
I think it actually is optimized. If you resize your browser screen the bitmap goes away (which is what you'd want on smaller devices) and the CSS uses the usual @media-type tricks.
A single smaller column is actually kind of common for desktop since it seems to read much easier than full width. Though I'd expect the column to be centered on the page, not put on the right side.
The left side stays staring on your face actually all the time distracting from the real content on the right. And on a Desktop monitor 75 cm from your nose the words Alex Booker IS HUGE, it draws all your attention.
I know it is a big hype to have such sites but the moment I see this then I immediately click away and don't bother to even read the text. For me it is like one of these screaming advertisements sites as click bait.
I did read the text and it is good but I have absolutely no clue why on Earth it is impossible to have a desktop version too.

It looks artistic but this is what I see on a desktop.

Because OP, (AKA "Alex Booker") is a hipster. For hipsters, such things are impossible.
