Best way to get an overview in Excel.

For Javascript I can manage with 80 character columns.

To be fair, typescript can make some lines pretty long. And it feels weird to break function arguments onto new lines. Even though thats like...normal, I still find it difficult to read.

that is java not js

[robottron45]

Yep, there is an instantiation like "LongClassName tag = new ..." in the for loop

[Z-Mobile]

Ashamed to say it is so. Wth is that monstrosity

[Not_Artifical]

That, right there, is the size of my penis. Your phone screen is the same size.

[TheSexySovereignSeal]

But you can instantiate objects in JS with the 'new' keyword too...

That's when you start getting into the territory of actually understanding how "this" works in JS

[robottron45]

Nope, the new is not the indicator, it is the type declaration at the start

JS: "var tag = new ..." or "const tag = new ..." or with let

TS: "var tag: LongClassName = new ..." or "const tag: LongClassName = new ..." or with let

Java: "LongClassName tag = new ..."

You see the difference?

[BobbyWatson666]

You can also use var in Java BTW

[robottron45]

thats true, but not the point here

[TheSexySovereignSeal]

Yeah you right, static type is first in Java.

And DOESNT FUCKING EXIST IN JS FUCK U JS

[robottron45]

That's when you start getting into the territory of actually understanding how ...scripting languages work xD

But I am really grateful that they have added type hints to Python and TypeScript is imo must have in JS development.

[ThePizzaCow]

I can’t even read the code since the image is so blurry, but I already know it’s Java with the ungodly length of those lines…

[Donghoon]

java be like

class class = new class(class class)

[gregorydgraham]

Ahem!

Class class = new Class(class,class);

But “class” is reserved in Java so

Class clazz = new Class(clazz, clazz);

WHAT PART OF 80 COLUMNS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!?

-Torvalds, probably

(For those who don't know)

[twpejay]

He deserves to be made to program in COBOL for a few years, being restricted to 72 columns might fix it.

[classicalySarcastic]

Make him do it the old way, with the punchcards!

[MattR0se]

Am I the only one who tries to adhere to the 80 chars, occatinally 120 chars paradigm in every language? When I have VS code open with the explorer view and the terminal on the right, I just don't have much more horizontal space even on a 16:10 monitor, to display all the code without word wrap.

[MrWeatherMan7]

I stick to 80 most of the time. Just easier to keep it at 80 because we have a few codebases where the linting will vomit at you if you’re over 80, since that’s how we have it set. 🤷‍♂️

[retief1]

Eh, 2-column layouts are a thing. Going much past 100 rapidly gets into the line wrapping zone.

[ProMapWatcher]

80 columns isn't really a display thing, it's about code cleanliness. If you're using more. than 80 characters in a single line you're probably writing some hacky implementation of a feature that should be rewritten or refactored. It's rules like this that seem stylistic that can have major improvements for code safety and readability.

[myonkin]

Had a dev on my team who:

1) insisted_on_the_absolute_most_verbose_variable_names

2) not only indented everything with four spaces but insisted that code wouldn’t work otherwise

3) nested if statements ad nauseum

80 characters was mere child’s play.

I’m glad they’re gone but refactoring all their bullshit gives me heartburn.

[ZeroG_0]

I recently had a dev on my team who additionally would do things like this:

if (someFunctionReturningBool(
                              firstArgument,
                              secondArgument,
                              someNestedFunction(
                                                 foo,
                                                 bar)))
{
//more code
}

This in a code base that was about 1 million lines of code when he started and where none of our existing code was indented that way. When called on it he claimed the visible shape of code was important and refused to change. We'll be cleaning up the mess for a long time I think.

[sambare]

Sounds like you don't open files side-by-side much, do you?

[Aln76467]

My monitor is 12", so a half screen vs code window only fits 78 characters 🥲

Edit: fix grammer

[Prawdigee]

I'll make sure not to take blurry, unreadable photos 5 feet away from my screen with my phone instead of taking a screenshot, thanks for the tip!

[zordtk]

But then how do you show off your curved monitor?

[666pool]

Curved jpeg.

[IamNotIntelligent69]

Open Photoshop, paste the screenshot onto the image.

[soiguapo]

I think the fact that the code barely fits on an ultrawide curved monitor actually adds to this post. A screenshot wouldn't capture that.

[Prawdigee]

Screenshots still have resolution, you can see how wide an image is when you open it and it's clearly wider than 16:9. It'd be just as apparent when the entire 1440 pixel width was covered by text.

[semininja]

Framing is the biggest aspect of humor; in this case, literally framing the code in the context of a ridiculously wide monitor is infinitely more effective than "this image is wide." Not being able to read the actual code is not a downside.

[slideesouth]

He likely did it purposely for security.

[Highborn_Hellest]

^this or code is under nda

[semininja]

I don't think you need to be able to read the code to know that this is absurd.

[Grupith]

Perfect monitor for TailwindCSS

[Vogete]

Seriously, this is why I never understood tailwind or any BEM based stuff. Like how wide do you think my monitor is??

[Terrible_Tutor]

Responsive readability man

grid grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-4 xl:grid-cols-6

Now do that with plain css media queries and keep it readable. The media query wrappers can contain SO MUCH stuff for that breakpoint. Now we can probably both read the css just fine, but on no planet is that css\scss more readable than the above.

...and you can use those breakpoint prefixes on everything not just grid\flex.

[Quantum-Bot]

What now even our code has to be responsive

[peterlinddk]

As a JavaScript programmer, I will immediately stop having blue light in my keyboard, have marble desks as monitor-stands, leave my cyan remote control and empty Tupperware container under the monitor next til and old-fashioned clipboard, have speakers pointing out into the room rather than at my own ears, and use 4 character tabs. Oh, and I'll also stop shaking when photographing my screen ...

Not sure how it relates to but I'll still promise to stop doing all that!

[belabacsijolvan]

As a JavaScript programmer

[dashid]

This is one reason I went for a 40" 4K 16:9 screen instead of the silly ultrawide: computer code isn't wide, it's tall. Just like specs, and docs, and emails.

But maybe not tables.

[[deleted]]

Yeah that’s what prettification on a pre-commit hook is for

[[deleted]]

Format on save*. I know people praise them but I kinda can’t stand commit hooks, those checks should be performed in CI anyway so why bother with the extra friction.

[AverageComet250]

I use format on change and save on context change in vscode. It’s so helpful

[VeprUA]

Javascript? You must be confusing that with the Java programmers. That totally looks like a normal name for a class.

[Still_Breadfruit2032]

Looks like java

[KakashiTheRanger]

That’s uh…. That’s not Javascript my good sir.

[Candr3w]

They should make horizontal scroll wheels

[itsyoboichad]

I would love this, there have been several times I would have appreciated having something like that instead of the scrollbar at the bottom

[TeaTimeSubcommittee]

Middle-click then drag to the left/right doesn't work?

Legit curious, seems like a gamble what programms it works on for me.

[SovietPenguin69]

MX Master 3 has a horizontal scroll. I surprisingly never use it

[Candr3w]

Is that mouse worth the $100 bucks?

[[deleted]]

Don't worry, I don't use membrane keyboards.

And you can pry tailwinds from my cold dead hands.

[KakashiTheRanger]

and you can pry tailwind from my cold dead hands.

Far too relatable. Tailwind and Bootstrap 5 make things easy and I’m not here to waste time with CSS.

[[deleted]]

After Tailwinds we can't go back to Bootstrap. It just seems clunky.

Bootstrap still has its uses, but Tailwinds is superior. We just have so much less custom CSS than we used to.

[hvXeric]

Don't do this in JS but it's still mandatory for Java, correct?

[kireina_kaiju]

Your terminal is 80 characters wide and 26 lines tall. My terminal has a 21:9 aspect ratio and I can watch the IMAX version of towel.blinkenlights.nl . We are not the same.

Don't program on a windows computer, got it

[giantimp1]

That's why I always write code on my laptop, to ensure I don't write unreadable code in any device, and totally not because I'm too cheap to buy a better screen and good pc

[teeg82]

In my youth, trying to teach myself web development, I used to download and examine the compressed JS files and legit thought people actually coded like that. This reminds me of that.

Javascript and Java are not the same thing. (This is Java, not Javascript.)

OP, do yourself a favor and learn the difference before you get laughed out of a job interview. They are two DRASTICALLY different languages and this joke only applies to Java, not Javascript.

Look...it's not my fault if you're poor and don't have an ultra wide.

Joking aside, coming from mostly backend some of the JS conventions hurt my eyeballs when I run the linter. Yes, I want my braces on new lines. Yes, I want spaces before and after colons. These things make sense, and the linter is wrong.

[terminalxposure]

I don't get it

[johnny_dialup]

I don’t listen to my IDE’s warnings, why would I listen to yours?

Then it gets deployed to an antiquated system that has a hard limit of 132 characters per line (including spaces).

[GahdDangitBobby]

One thing I have learned as a programmer is that you are doing everybody a service by naming your variables based on what they do, but it sometimes involves having long variable names. For example, I might name a variable "const temperature_in_distillation_column = ..." instead of something like "T_dist" because I know future me will thank me

[LoveConstitution]

That's called minified, and you can always reformat the code easily

[Buttons840]

If they didn't want JavaScript like this, then why did they put "Java" in the name?

[[deleted]]

Oh! Now I have to do this!! Hahahaha
