I am a programmer, not a designer. But this did not stop me from drawing a business card for myself ...
But it helped me to “write” it.
As a basis, I took the PHP programming language and syntax highlighting, which allowed me to write on it without exposing my eyes to unbearable stress.
It turned out this:
There were other options, for example:
... and even:
Then I tried to weigh the pros and cons of all the options:
While decided to stop at the first option, because:
- read a business card can each - contact information is highlighted, everything else can not read
- it is convenient to read - all the data next to the same color and size
- it is easy to add or delete a few lines additional data (if there are too many empty lines, you can insert a couple of commented out method calls with empty parameters).
Although here you have to do a little magic. For example, the data itself does not hurt to align left (pick up the names of methods of the same length).
What do you say?

| ver. 1 | ver. 2 | ver. 3 | |
| Useful information is collected in a bunch (no need to run your eyes all over the business card) | + | - | + |
| Useful information is highlighted (immediately striking) | + | + | - |
| Alignment of useful information (virtual table) | +/− | +/− | + |
| The presence of a frivolous note | + | - | - |
| The ability to "compile" | - | - | + |
