I used to love small 12 pt fonts but recently I've really liked coding with medium sized 16-18pt fonts and it's a big difference. As long as the characters are thin (like first code light) I really quite prefer it.

Am... Am I getting old...?

    Man I'm already old.

    I got excited over a glass baking dishes and a cake pan for Christmas lmao.

    My cousin was like "there's a difference between being an adult and being grown, and you're grown when you're over here getting excited over that."

    Shit man, I'm fat and love to eat lol. Food doesn't cook itself, ya know

    Everyone is getting old. Or at least nobody is becoming young.

    @Stuxnet No worries, I'm the same. Having new things for whatever you need to do (e.g. cook, wash the dishes, clean, etc.) is always nice!

    PS: I like new sponges and you can't get that away from me!

    @Jilano I got a new cast iron pan, a new pot, a few glass baking dishes and the cake pan for Christmas.

    It's practical, useful, and things I needed but didn't want to buy lol

    Had a few other things (a few utensils and things of that nature) on my list, but not as prioritized since were cheaper.

    @Stuxnet Sounds great! You just need to invite people and cook, now!
    These things can get so expensive, I feel the "needed but didn't want to buy", haha

    If you've recently upgraded to a 4K or retina display, you may have just returned your font size to what it use to be on screen.

    Also, that's just one variable. Distance from your screen matters WAY more than font size. I say get the biggest monitor you can, crank that font size to 999pt, and sit as far back as possible.

    My first boss taught me this. He had coded for 20 years and still had 20/20 vision.

    I'm 40 and I still can't stand big text. My vkm is full of 8-10 pt monospace.

    @stisch 1080 dual monitors (so 2160?) About 5 feet away from my eyes. Need to lean forwards to touch them and I got long arms

    23.8" 1440p, 8pt font. (@165hz! 😁)
    It's nice.

    I want a curved 4k.
    It'll be nicer. (If slow...)

    @stisch I can vouch for @AlgoRythm
    He has the longest arms I've ever seen. And I've seen lots of people with long arms.

    @irene 6pt is a bit small; 8pt is just fine.
    10pt is okay, but 12pt is just huge. Anything larger than 14pt is for viewing across the room!
