Code of Sauron
Better start now, the US might need a new one soon. /s
A smart contract as the declaration of independence would be awesome though.
See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can't force people to read it in this font.
Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.
Settle down Satan.
And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!
Did they use sane or Windows-style newlines? Windows-style line endings are not supported everywhere.
Edit:
Variable-width handwriting is no longer considered a best practice and has been deprecated for some time. If the program did not compile with sane line endings, try rewriting the program in monospace, as support for legacy handwriting styles may have been dropped from non-LTS compiler releases.
all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks
Hey that's MY cursed python programming method... I wonder if I still have those books

That way you don't need Gimp to make edits. I like it, very human!
Are you my coworkers?
You can if you paste it into a write protected pdf
The only real way to write protect it is by printing the pdf into pdf (making it a pdf of an image).

Yes. The "problem".
Many editors can read config files from a file in the repository itself. And oftentimes it has the highest priority. Just gotta know the IDE of your target and they have to click "trust this project".
Just add it for VSCode and Jetbrains and you cover like 75-95% of devs
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?
I unironically love comic sans derivatives, they're just super readable to me
Comic sans can help a lot of people with dyslexia.
Comic sans is a great typeface in my opinion. Just often misused.

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)

Try JetBrains Mono.
Verdana.
The I/l and O/o/0, 0/8/ø are all distinct, so are all the different kinds of brackets. Also, this isn't a monospace font, so wide letters such as m and w are wide, instead of being squashed into an unreadable barcode.
Letters aren't meant to be monospace, and sans TUI nothing in computers still needs to be.
If you do need one, ex. for TUI, I second JetBrains Mono!
Also, Verdana is not a libre font, Noto Sans is a libre font that also has these properties, although code does look much better in Verdana to me.
Also, this isn't a monospace font
Oh no.
Fira Code is my go-to.

This is great if you don't want the united states politicians to read it.
Putting the “no” in zapfino
std::string independence;
reduce the flourishes and/or add more spacing between lines and it would be a lot more readable.
In this case it's because part of the joke is the quote tweet. You could also link to the tweet instead of a screenshot but then we need to connect to Musk's servers at some point (even if through a proxy like nitter)
