I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

No max line length whatsoever. The 80 characters limit is just cargo cult.
If it was cargo cult, people wouldn't be able to come up with any reasons for using it.
80 characters was the width of the old terminals. That's the reason.
That's not the only reason.
I meant people wouldn't come up with any valid reasons for using it now.
80 is as vàlid as 77 or 83. But its original is terminals. Or should It be a múltiple of 10?
