I don't know if you know the reference, but his screenful of code looked like this: https://www.jsoftware.com/ioj/iojATW.htm
(with a post explaining it here: https://blog.wilsonb.com/posts/2025-06-06-readable-code-is-u... )
It's stylistically denser than a typical 59 lines of code, then macro-densified and 'golfed' further.
I, right now in 2026 and at least one decade later, get at most 59 lines of code at once in my primary editor (Panic's Nova) on a 27" monitor.
That is almost the same ratio.
