I'm a full stack web developer who has been freelancing for the last 20 years. I write about everything from development to production and also have video courses on my site!
I do a lot of programming with Python and Bash which typically uses 4 spaces. I also work with Ruby, Elixir and Node on a regular basis at 2 spaces.
Never had a problem with 80 characters on the 4 space languages. Maybe PHP is different?
Even on Python code bases with many thousands of lines of code, I very rarely have to think about the 80 character limit, everything just fits naturally.
That's with using very descriptive variable and function names too. I never abbreviate for the sake of line length.
