David Bolton Strikes Again

These days, almost all developers have a monitor with a resolution of 1280*1024 plus. In some cases it may be as low as 1024*768, but I’d guess that would be rare right now. Some lucky bastards even have two monitors to develop on.

So I’m flabbergasted that so many still have their code formatters set to wrap at such a low column width. It kills me everytime I see a line wrapped earlier than it has to, because it makes the code hard to read, and furthermore it looks ugly too!

Please, only wrap if you absolutely have to — sometimes scrolling isn’t that bad, and in any case, maximising your editor within the IDE is only a shortcut away.
