I've personally witnessed the seventh entry to this meme: lines of code over 1000 columns wide.

I try to forget, but the horror never fades.

I remember a long time ago, I worked at a java shop and we were cursed to use Eclipse. One coworker was saying his IDE was really slow, and almost unusable. So I come over to look, and the whole freaking codebase was just one giant Java file. It was basically at the limit of what the compiler will allow.

I always shiver at the thought that no PHP formatter (that I know of) can wrap lines that are too long... and my codebase has too many 🥲
