I deal with code bases written by different teams with different conventions on a daily basis and I believe a limit on line length is useful but I’ve no idea what a good all-around number it should be.

Horizontal scrollbars are the fucking worst™️ when working with code.

Wrap-around is my goto but in more occasions I liked to deal with I had to check line numbers to figure out if something was wrapping around or not.

In a Ruby shop I worked with for a few years we had a 120 characters limit set company wide and it was mostly ok.

I personally enjoy a shorter line length for personallprojects because it helps me focus on what I’m doing.
