Why Still 80 Columns?
- wruza 4y agoI’m all for utilitarianism-ish and sensible areas of effect. If the code doesn’t leave a specific environment, then only those [steering] in that environment can decide what standards should be there, without any preexisting knowledge. It’s not a big deal if you repeat a few mistakes, because you can fix them, or find out they were minor. Thinking on a level of how/why the world does that is unproductive, unless you see in action why that “fence” is there. This is really a personal thing - not for a single person, but for any team composition (including 1). Of course this means that tabs must be eight spaces because who knows where you could paste/stream the code, and this renders them unusable for indenting lines.
