Re:C-style: My favorite C programming practices by wruza on Monday May 20, 2024 @05:13AM (#40413649)
As a part of ergonomics auditory, I really prefer 100-115 column soft limit for code editors, log viewing and console, because that’s how my single display dev setup works best. Otoh if I’m using IDEs with big sidebars like {X,VS}Code, then I need two displays and/or a full-width IDE anyway.

While I understand that this is an anecdotal preference, to me it doesn’t feel like the 80 column standard fits any modern dev workspace perfectly, tbh. (By modern I don’t mean “shiny”, just what we have now in hw/sw.)
