       | on a toss up. IBM Plex Mono won and is pretty damn close.

       | Fira Code, which I've been using for years anyway! I found
       | disproportionate glee in picking my usual font

       | SF Mono is by far my favorite, unfortunate it can't be included
       | It can be extracted from the apple dev fonts dmg if you want to
       | use it in your editor on a non-OSX platform

       | assumed would just be a permalink to the blog post that I am
       | reading) that I spent a full minute looking for it

       | fact, no matter how much I love a font, I have to switch it every
       | few months or I get sick of it.

       | Its so dependent on font size (or more accurately PPI) that its
       | hard to pick. On my current monitor my favorite Berkely Mono
       | looks thin and hard to read unless I bump up the size higher than
       | I'd like. But drag it over to a Retina screen and it looks
       | fantastic.

       | Jetbrains Mono and Fira Code made it to the run off, but Fira won
       | out in the end. Having used Fira for many years, at least I'm
       | consistent.
