The only change I made to black was setting the line length to 120, because its default of 88 is too short and oof that number means something else already.

8 is a lucky number in China. 88 is just double that. Fuck nazis. Stop letting them take things that never belonged to them from the rest of the world

There's some truth to this, but I don't want to be the white guy telling the new hire in the US in 2025 "our line length is 88". They probably won't think anything of it, but if they do they probably won't think I'm into Chinese superstition.

You should just tell them you are, problem solved!

My current team is using 120 too and honestly I don't like it. 88 is great when you work with split screen and I do that a lot. Short lines are easier to read than wrapped lines for my brain.

My terminal with a comfortably large font, full screen at 1080p, has 238 columns. That should be enough to split screen 2x120 column editors for all but the very longest lines, and you have even more room if you reduce the font size a point or have a 1440p monitor.
