Any comments from someone using this font as a daily driver? I cant seem to move on from Source Code Pro (not that i'm looking to, just tried a couple and found myself clinging to Source Code Pro at the end of the day) This looks nice (similar to what I thought about JetBrains Mono)

I tried the mono version but a double forward slash glitches and overlays the next two characters - which kinda makes it unusable for anyone touching the web.

Can I ask what software you ran into that issue with? Probably, it was a strict-monospace environment, like vim in a terminal. I have created code-specific fonts to deal with this issue:

there are fonts made specifically for code which have code ligatures & the simple l, f, 6, & 9 frozen in, if you like these features but don’t want to mess with OpenType features (or if your code editor doesn’t support that).

The issue doesn’t occur in web browsers, as far as I know, as they support proportional type (include mostly-mono families with a few proportional glyphs).
