Also using a monospaced font for both the written text and command line output is certainly a choice. I get that it is often an aesthetic choice, but given that a blog post is written with the idea to be read, one I don't think is a particularly good one. Although the last time I made a remark about that on HN it became clear to me that a lot of people don't see the issue. Even if there are decades worth (at this point) of research that makes it clear that a sans serif font (or even a serif font on modern displays) works better for readability. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is clear that the author is very explicitly going for the aesthetics of a terminal, given that all formatting of the text is ASCII based down to the line length being hard coded as if we are dealing with a hard limit of columns.

Personally, I'd prefer something more like this: https://www.creesch.com/dump/img/img_66c3127604542.png.
