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?
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)
My go-to has been Fira Code for some time. Just did the test, and Fira Code was the winner. Jetbrains Mono was a close second for me though.
