I am, admittedly, the former even when I shouldn't be. But hey, it'll pay off if I ever get paid by the line of code.
Yesterday I saw someone's code though that passed 200 characters wide O_O
@mostlycoolmark @cwebber Yeah tbh that is what I should be doing
@cwebber
Here in ruby a nice rule is, one line per idea. Doesn't always work out, but, nice to work towards. You can get lost even in plain text if it's too wide.
A while back I went from 80 chars to 100. Happy to keep to that.
@cwebber I do that for regexes I've pasted in from elsewhere and feel bad about it.
@kevinmarks well, string-based regexes are mostly hopeless (but pervasive) anyway, so
@cwebber Option C: endlessly dithering over whether to break 80 chars or put the first arg below the function name, both of which feel slightly wrong
