See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can't force people to read it in this font.
Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.
Settle down Satan.
And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!
Are you my coworkers?
You just said that somebody is in desperate need of a beating
Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.
And then submit patches
all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks
Hey that's MY cursed python programming method... I wonder if I still have those books
Oh, so that's what those Python notebooks are that I've heard people talk about!
That way you don't need Gimp to make edits. I like it, very human!
Yes. The "problem".
You can if you paste it into a write protected pdf
The only real way to write protect it is by printing the pdf into pdf (making it a pdf of an image).
I wonder if this font would screw up ocr?

And then maybe you could use something like #define in C to map them back to valid characters? Not sure if there’s a good way to do that in other higher level languages.
Many editors can read config files from a file in the repository itself. And oftentimes it has the highest priority. Just gotta know the IDE of your target and they have to click "trust this project".
Just add it for VSCode and Jetbrains and you cover like 75-95% of devs
