I... Somehow just realized that I can of course change my editor font. After three years in professional software dev.

Any recommendations for maximizing readability?

https://www.codingfont.com/ is a fun, tournament style quiz that compares different monospace fonts. It's far from comprehensive, but I found it useful to gauge what font features I find stylish and readable

(For the record, my go-to font is Jetbrains Mono)

[–] mcv@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

That was fun. Apparently I'm a JetBrains Mono user. Of course it might be simply what I'm used to, because I'm a long time IntelliJ user. It wouldn't surprise me if this is already my font.

My go-to has been Fira Code for some time. Just did the test, and Fira Code was the winner. Jetbrains Mono was a close second for me though.

Thanks, I got inconsolata. I'm not a coder but I'm going to use it for other things.

I got Fira Code, which tracks, I've used it before. I use Comic Code though. (A monospace comic sans type font.)

Lol I got Fira Code which is what I actually use. Awesome tool
