fyi the only valid line length limit is 80 characters, and you might use it because you're concerned for visual-impairment accessibility because Braille displays wider than that apparently don't exist anything else, widen your goddamn window buddyhttps://twitter.com/changelog/status/999652792707858433 …

code readability suffers when you’ve got 32 levels of indent and 500 characters on a line. (Yes, I have worked with code like this). While 80 is a bit antiquated thesedays, going beyond 120 or so is generally a bad idea imo.

proliferating indent levels are extremely bad, i don't think line limits are the way to make people stop doing them is all, mostly because it doesn't work, they'll just write their code in a 5 character wide column you're not super wrong, i just like to advocate extremism

thinking about the mechanics of braille displays is really interesting to me. I'd love to talk to a braille reading person about how they prefer to read. Is it better to run your finger across a line or to run a line across a finger?
