with the printing of the ouput taking in mind; what monospaced font do you guys use (if any)? πŸ™‚
p
jetbrains mono, each and every day
j
jetbrains mono, although it is hard on AoC puzzles where often β€œblack” pixel is 
#
and β€œwhite” is 
.
I wonder if Source Code Pro wouldn’t be better for that
n
Fira Code, but wondering if using Jetbrains Mono would speed up my IDE at all
m
I recently switched to Fira Code, any reason why you would think fonts change anything?
n
doubtful, but my IDE is slow so I’m skeptical of everything πŸ™‚

I switched to different characters and that helped a lot
Instead of # and ., I just had a solid block and a blank space
It made my message much easier to read; it was indeed very difficult with 
#
and

Exactly this. Read my solution 3 times wrong before I came up with that idea

Fira Code with ligatures. I did the same as above though:
I mean, of course the output should be normal text, interpreting the image is part of the programming puzzle, right? πŸ˜‚
