Would it? I don't think having to make all my lines 44% shorter than they should be is reasonable; that's going to be a massive impingement on productivity.
- lcuff 2y ago44% shorter: is your claim that limiting line lengths to 80 or 100 characters is going to 'massively impinge' your productivity? That seems unlikely to me.
- lmm 2y agoIt absolutely does. You might think it would just mean more lines, but that means your functions are longer so you have to break them up more, which means there's a hard limit on how big a coherent thing you can build. If you think it wouldn't matter, try limiting yourself to 60 or 40 character lines in a codebase and see how much it changes.
