 barrage you lead with questions until he gives up and gives you carte blanche:)))

				@Demolishun So, you don't consider a web dev, a real programmer?!!
 btw I'm a C++ programmer, who does web and app development often.

				bad-frog5294y@stackphish just to stir the pot even further:
 
 seems you dont consider webdevs real programmers either:
 "btw I'm a C++ programmer, who does web and app development often."
 ^
 you classify yourself as C++ programmer, as opposed to doing webdev which is a skill on top of C++.
 
 C++>webdev
 
 cmon theres no sin in admitting there isnt much in the way of algorythmy in web dev.
 you need a different kind of crazy to actually like that.
 
 however i will be the first to admit its a bitch and a half to learn what is required to be full stack.
 
 and to be honest i dont think its beyond median human ability to learn it and it is what i expect of someone who does web development.
 
 thats why i, personally, do thrash webdevs when i think they deserve it. (thrash talking C-like is amongst the paragraphs:)))

 Serious answer: Any monospace font that:
 
 * You find legible
 
 * Makes a clear distinction between 1Il (one, uppercase i, lowercase L) and oO0 (lower/upper letter o and zero)
 
 Hasklig is my favorite font for both editors and CLI. It's a fork of Source Code Pro, but with a few ligatures for some common symbols.
 
 Coding ligatures make code much easier on the eyes, so I consider them a plus.
 
 I personally like fonts which are about as wide as they are high, so while FiraCode is beloved by many, I hate it. Not thicc enough. Just like Monoid and Iosevka.
 
 I think Jetbrains Mono is delightful for it's insane 139 ligatures, and it still looks great at smaller sizes.
 
 Overall, I like Hasklig better though.

				@bad-frog Huh, bruh!! I consider myself a C++ programmer because that is what my job description says. I do web dev and app dev because I like them.
 Pot stirred... Stew ready :)
