I understand the concern, but readability and comprehension are way more important than line length. If the length impairs readability, it’s too long. Explicitly limits are terrible. Guidelines, fine.
Ultimately, you do you. I still think your crazy and I think your argument is poor.
Yes a strict 80 character limit would be bad but that’s why modern formatters aren’t strict and default to 90-100.
I’ve pretty much never seen code that would have been more readable had the lines been longer than that.
My main argument is still that shorter lines are more readable. I just think it’s a bullshit argument to say that long lines are fine because large monitors exists. I don’t see how that makes me crazy.
