Try saying that again when you are 50 and your eyes no longer as good as they used to be. Back when I was 25 I loved the tiny fonts I could fit on my (then incredibly large) 19 inch monitor which I had pushed to the highest resolution. These days even with special computer glasses (magnification and optimized for computer distance) I can't make such tiny text.

Now get off my lawn you punks!

Also old. Also can not read the fonts my earlier self would use. Still do not understand the love for narrow columns.

Crazy.

I am.

And that's why I said I use the zoom in VSCode in my previous message. My font is big as fuck compared to everyone else.

I understand the age issue but you can always get a 42" display? LG C2/3/4 are amazing.
