Quick notes on why constraining cpl is an advantage when writing source
While the standard 80 character limit for source code can be traced back to the
IBM punch card[1] it can still be seen as a good upper bound for how long lines
of text should be on modern high definition displays.
First thing we must acknowledge is that source code is not read in the
traditional sense. Instead developers scan the source using non-linear eye
movements[2] or stay fixated in a small area of code while working out the
logical details of code being written. The fixation on a single location, even
for more than a few seconds, leads to a loss of visual accuity. Which occurs
when the eyes do not perform frequent saccadic eye movements.[3] Further

About Those Lava Lamps

Around 2006-2007, it was a bit of a fashion to hook lava lamps up to the build server. Normally, the green lava lamp would be on, but if the build failed, it would turn off and the red lava lamp would turn on.

By coincidence, I've actually met, about that time, (probably) the first person to hook up a lava lamp to a build server. It was Alberto Savoia, who'd founded a testing tools company (that did some very interesting things around generative testing that have basically never been noticed). Alberto had noticed that people did not react with any urgency when the build broke. They'd check in broken code and go off to something else, only reacting to the breakage they'd caused when some other programmer pulled the change and had problems.
