    I've been programming on so many platforms in so many languages with so many different text editors, I don't give a shit what the font looks like as long as it's anything monospaced.

    Coding is a fool's hobby anyway because after years and years and fucking years of coding, I have never ever ever gotten paid for it.

    Here in the real world, codng jobs do not exist. Anyone who claims to have a coding job is a fucking liar spreading false rumors.

    So fuck you up the ass with a space cadet keyboard, you motherfucking shitbags.

    Stupid kids care about fonts when they pick up a copy of Coder Bro's Best Font ("too small for the olds to read!") and Coder Bro's Elite IDE ("with built-in video streaming so your bros can watch you code live!").

    Stupid kids only know one language and only use one coding rig because they learned to code yesterday ("Crushing It, Bro!!!!!!!!").

    Aside from all that, the only serious font on the list that isn't a Microsoft or Apple Inc endorsed font is Helvetica.

    In the old days we enjoyed whatever the linux console font was. Or MSDOS console font wasn't bad.

    One font I didn't like was small number of dots dot matrix printers where lowercase descenders were lifted up to fit. Now that looked awful.

      My first computer was an Apple IIe that my dad stole from work right before he got fired and we skipped town. Our family didn't have a TV while we were on the run, so I used an ImageWriter dot matrix printer as a teletype instead. I had fun with our Apple IIe until my dad sold it to pay for crack cocaine.
