I don't read code like I read prose. A line of code tends to be a logical unit. For example, breaking up arguments passed to a function across multiple lines, just because you break the 80 char rule, doesn't make sense.

- ivankirigin 19y agoIt is indeed.
- attack 19y agoWhat's wrong with breaking up function arguments onto multiple lines?
- ivankirigin 19y agoPlacement of the arguments. I sometimes group them logically, but more often than not, I just want the call to occur on a single line. The reason fewer lines is better is that you can see more of the code at the same time. That's why flipping a monitor vertically is a good idea.
