I use a monospaced Comic Sans font for my code. It’s the most comfortable font for my eyes I’ve used for programming.

Really ? I personally use fonts distinguishing well all the different characters like lI1 or O0, '`", currently for example, I'm using Source Code Pro

(Actually, sh.itjust.works view uses SFMono and Menlo for preformatted blocs of code, also a coding font well distinguishing similar looking characters)
