Cursed idea: Implicit Association Test but it's for programmers and their reaction to fonts and color choices

@grimalkina if I can’t easily spot the difference between AI and Al, or ≥ and >= then I have opinions about the font in use in most contexts.

As for colours, that’s even more context sensitive.

Luckily for me my opinions are right 😉.

(If you’re using a sans serif font with “coding ligatures” and a muddy colour scheme like solarized then you’re most likely not on my Xmas card list)

@MikeStok what is muddy to you is tranquil to me!

@grimalkina what’s muddy to me now was a delight in the 2010s.

A benefit of my life running out like sand, and my eyes dimming, is that I finally have some insight into the difficulties of others. I am ashamed that it took me 60+ years to get there.

@MikeStok getting there at all is a beautiful thing
