Screen width and web dev (lemmy.ca)

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

That's an exciting new branch of webdev craziness. The browser has a login ui; it responds to a 401; just let me use that.

But why do I have to shrink everything to 90% just so my workflow fits in one screen? Do I need all that whitespace on the page that serves no purpose, like some rich guy's opulent lawn space where he's set up a crochet set that no one ever plays?
