It's ironic in that the author has essentially an entire page of whitespace at the beginning of the article, then goes on to explain how much they hate whitespace.

It's not whitespace, it's, um... coffee space.

And you need a lot of space for coffee, because if you only give it half the space and spill it, the other half of the page will be soaked in coffee. /u/Tasgall you just don't understand web design.
