What are you going to do when you get older and your eyes go through "the change"? You can keep your font sizes and wear readers, but then don't you have to move your head a lot to view the entire magnified image?
Any presbyopic developers care to chime in on what the experience is like? I'm 40, so mine could cross over any time now.
I hate 16:9 too. Please give me back the bottom of my screen that you chopped off.
- simias 9y agoYou could try rotating your screen to get 9:16, although I find that it tends to be a bit narrow if you want to split vertically and have two pieces of code side by side. With 16:10 screens however I think it work rather well, I currently use three 1920x1200 monitors and two of them are vertical, it looks like this: https://svkt.org/~simias/emacs-vertical.png https://svkt.org/~simias/emacs-vertical.png It's also great for looking at docs.
- khedoros1 9y agoI spent some years with dual 24" 10:16 screens. It was a convenient coding and documentation reading environment. If the workstation had supported a third screen, I would've requested one to run horizontally, for the rare times I had to view video, or something.
- lisper 9y ago> I'm 40 Well, heck, you shouldn't be programming at all. You're much too old. (And in case your irony detector is broken, I'm 52.)
- wgj 9y agoI'm 50 and have been wearing glasses for about 6 years now. Your neurology adjusts pretty quickly. The first few days, your field of view feels limited. After that it feels normal. It was a delight to adjust my font sizes down on all my devices, back to what I would have used at 30 years old.
