On that knob -- I prefer 80 characters today because it allows me to place two panes of code side-by-side without wrapping on one monitor. Sometimes I throw in a REPL pane as well as or instead of the second pane.

But I also have come to like prettier's approach. At least, I did last time I used it a year or two back. Almost no configuration, no bikeshedding, it just reformats your js code and doesn't sweat the rest. It's not having every style exactly how I like it, but it's much nicer than the eslint/jshint/etc hell I used to configure. Of course to some extent these tools solve some different problems but I didn't really feel much of a need to keep eslint around once prettier started enforcing its standards.

Definitely check out prettier for Ruby then! https://github.com/prettier/plugin-ruby. Actively working toward 1.0.

This! I prefer 80 characters so I can have two panes of code side by side or a REPL next to my code. It is near impossible to do that on a laptop if the line length is extended to 110 without a line wrap.

Point being, everyone has very different preferences and work practices. Team standards are going to be very different from team to team but standards do help reduce cognitive overhead on wondering if line lengths or other styles need to be different.
