Comic Mono
Actually looks quite nice, but when I try it for coding I find it a bit too dense, compared to Hack [0] which gets it just about right for me.

Haven't seen any love for Hack yet. Here's my setup, which is also using noto sans for the variable pitch font.

Berkeley Mono Typeface
Hack is very underrated and awesome. Fira Code is nice, so is Adobe Source Code Pro [0], and Iosevka [1]. Yet, Berkeley is truly at its own level.

What fonts do you use for writing?
I've been using the free Source Code Pro (GitHub source). While it works well for coding of course, I find it is also pleasing to read from for large quantities of text. The characters are distinct (no confusion between 0O lI etc.) but understated, which is what you want for something you read thousands of words with every day.
