Fuck I'm getting old and it's hard for my eyes to tell the diff between ( and {.

I can't see that detail too on occasion admittedly.

@Ranchonyx Same goes with : and ; with certain fonts

I feel this on a spiritual level.

I had to re-read this at least three times (and squint) to understand why you would be comparing "(" to "(." before I realized that wasn't what you were comparing at all.

I feel your pain. My eyes are so old, I can't tell the difference between { and begin

or the nonsensical ` and '

Dots and commas

Accessibility features: zoom

It's a good feature regardless of age. Eye strain is a thing.

Sooooo much Roto.

; and :
l and 1
o and 0
haha

I find when coding in dart/ flutter thid dose start to happen for sure

I hate it when linting/prettier forces tabs into spaces. It is straight up hostile to team members with vision challenges that need to do things to their IDE to improve code readability. Tabs are flexible width. Spaces are fixed width. Don’t replace tabs with spaces. I hope that eventually tabs become default for prettier/linting.

I was on a team where team decided the four space “code standard” was more important than helping a visually impaired team member. People suck. This was a good reminder.

What are you talking about? They /are/ the same.

Another one I struggle with is the difference between ; and ;

@Nanos oh yes, I want at least a 32 inch monitor instead of standard 24

@Nanos 15 looks like a bare minimum for a monitor now. Anything smaller is too small overall.

@Nanos and that's why standard practice is to not use tabs

@rolexpo If you're using Intellij you could maybe try the rainbow brackets plugin as afaik it allows you to set specific colors for each bracket type.

Or : and ; , . And ,

Just choose randomly and let the compiler yell at you 😉
