Indeed, Linus Torvalds has a recent rant about people still adhering to max 80-column width code. It's pointless in the day of massive monitors.
- qppo 6y agoI use a rather large 4K monitor as my daily driver and maintain 80 column width code where possible, to avoid wraparound when I have many windows open. It's not pointless unless you're using your massive monitor like you did your tiny one thirty years ago. I use mine like a bunch of tiny monitors, not one big one.
