I find as I get older that I need to use bigger fonts in order to easily read code. Based on my terminal font, I can fit two windows side by side with 90 character line lengths, but if I have 3 windows, it would go down to 60 characters (though that's not something I commonly do).
I also find diffs that involve changes to shorter lines easier to read compared to ones with longer lines.
I wonder what he now thinks about line length in email and git commit messages (excluding things like logs, error messages, etc)?
