Who doesn’t have soft wrapping enabled in 2026? Line breaks are irrelevant
- verdverm 2mo agoWho makes assumptions about how others do things in 2026? Line breaks are apparently relevant, review agents complain about them, soft breaks are super annoying for vim motion users, opinions are still like ani
- Lindby 2mo agoSoft like breaks in a code editor? That's insane
- Cockbrand 2mo agoAnd so the war began. This is a bit like vim vs Emacs - everyone should be able to use their favorite setup, and the formatting should not get in the way of the engineer's preferences.
- ezrabuenk 2mo agoI, in fact, do not have wrapping enabled in my IDE....
- tacomagick 2mo agoYou never wrote Java I see
- xboxnolifes 2mo agoJava is why I don't have line wrapping enabled. It makes code unreadable when everything needs to be wrapped.
- jarofgreen 2mo agoIf line breaks really were irrelevant, the author wouldn't have felt the need to give a tip all around optimising line breaks. Personally, I would have hoped by 2026 we had better IDE's and tools for managing code in text files such that developers with different preferences for a number of characters in a column or things like how you display comments can be accommodated. Yet still teams end up arguing about what standard to use.
