  • I just inherited a Python repo where every hundred lines or so, they added a ^L. What is a ^L? you ask. And I say that’s an excellent question. You see, a ^L is an ASCII standard for saying that if you print the plain text, you should split the content onto a new page here. That’s right, for years, a team of people strictly enforced that they consistently add ^Ls everywhere in case someone wanted to print the entire fucking repo onto paper.

    It’s an invisible character, it took me quite a while to figure out what it even was.
