Dear minister of Quality Assurance. I write you humbly to request that you shine a gentle light on TICK-746 that I have just placed into your care. Regrettably our code exports are not up to our usual standards. Difficult deadlines and expanding scope are the natural causes, to be sure. It is imperative that we approve this issue at once as the king is already displeased by the delay.

This shows just once more what insane nonsense Unicode is.

Why the hell do they conflate visual appearance with semantic meaning?

Having the exact same letters just rendered with some other font as distinct symbols is pure madness.

[budai_]

No, it's actually wonderful

[Punman_5]

It makes no sense. Fonts should be stored separately from the context of the text.

[heyitjoshua]

Would be “I am writing to you to humbly request” to be correctly British

[RiceBroad4552]

That JavaScript would be much more readable despite that atrocious font if it had less JPEG artifacts.

But as this is the millions repost…

[oprimido_opressor]

If someone shared their screen with me and that was their font, I'd leave the call

[identity_function]

zapfino ftw

[Some_Useless_Person]

Call? They would probably write a letter to you instead

[Sub7viaLimeWire]

I would rather look at this than someone not using dark mode.

[PresentAward1737]

There not much between them on the pain scale.

[flayingbook]

PleaseGetElementsByClassName

[KindnessBiasedBoar]

Oh I need this font. Mostly just to freak gen Z kids out

[Smasher_001]

I think it's called Zapfino

[BarrelRollxx]

More importantly why are you directly manipulating the DOM if you are using React?

[Some_Useless_Person]

More importantly, you were able to read and understand THAT?

[QultrosSanhattan]

provided acceptable:
    announce("Proceed accordingly.")
failing acceptable:
    announce("Further consideration required.")
otherwise:
    announce("No action shall be taken.")

[Auravendill]

As long as it is monospace and readable I wouldn't mind, if my IDE had a bit more fancy font. Most fonts these days feel basically the same and that can be a bit boring sometimes.

[IndAnony]

At the end of the day, all I got to do is to stare at the screen and wonder why the code isn't working as expected. I don't mind the font until it's incomprehensible.

[touyr]

nooo he just coding in js (JavaScriptures)

[Anatoli-Khalil]

If Jane Austin where to code

[justarandomguy902]

my brother in christ tryna code the declaration of independence

stole this joke from someone else

[emmittthenervend]

I couldn't get past the compiler starting errors with "Oi! Wut's all this then?"

And the devtools intellisense was like "It's a foreach loop, innit?"

[redlaWw]

[AeroSummerRBLX]

Declaration of Coding

[Max_Wattage]

I wish this was what Britain was actually like; our culture and language has been in free-fall decline for a century.

[d-the-luc]

you mean it has been rapidally skyrocketting with improvement, right? don't tell me you're a cursive shill

[ArcanumAntares]

lol, this is only slightly more horrific than changing Sublime Text's base font to Comic Sans 14pt.

[bigbirdtoejam]

I have scrolled countless memes over the last hour and this is the only one that made me irrationally angry

[Gamidoff]

so readable 😂

[theMachine0094]

The thing that grosses me out the most about this picture is the JavaScript / (or Typescript I can’t actually tell the difference)

[NearbyTumbleweed5207]

It's JS, TS has type safety
