Fonts for Code
Input Sans is a great proportional coding font, but it isn't quite my favorite. That would be Trebuchet++, my personal font that started as Trebuchet MS with a bunch of customizations to my taste. (I wish I could distribute it; now I will have to find a way to do that.) But the Input Manifesto (that's what I'll call it) has a wonderful explanation of how proportional fonts are beneficial for code: https://input.djr.com/info/.

Monoid is a customizable, minimal + legible font optimized for coding. It's customisable with ligatures, alternates and class based positioning.
Since everyone is posting their suggestions, a couple of years ago I settled on the open-source Monoid font with ligatures. https://larsenwork.com/monoid/ I find it that it's very easy to get used to ligatures, and I find them very satisfying to look at. They're code-specific replacement characters that combine your == into a single long double bar, or -> and => into a neat little arrow character, and so on (link above for more examples). Monoid also has some useful readability tweaks, like bringing together the // or .. Character pairs, which are common in many languages. If you're looking to add some quirk and (arguably) readability to your coding, this could be your thing!

Font for programming and code review
Mononoki is my recent favorite (unmentioned yet, but surely popular). https://madmalik.github.io/mononoki/ Monofur is a <i>wild</i> font I'm mildly surprised was omitted. I did use it full-time for a while maybe 10 years ago, but it's maybe not the best daily driver. https://www.fontspace.com/monofur-font-f39937.
