Google also uses 100

Most of their monorepo code I came across used 80 columns. But, I can't speak for all of it. Google has a LOT of code.

Either way, if Google and other companies can do what they do in 80 columns, I think it's a fair constraint. What we get out of this constraint is the ability to put a lot of context on the screen.
