Yesterday, I shared some spicy takes. A few were particularly controversial—most notably, that I correct Gif the correct way (with a soft G)—but I also got a lot of emails asking me to elaborate on a few of them. Today, I wanted to talk about how tabs are objectively better than spaces. This won’t take long. Tabs let you define how big you want each indent to be, and spaces do not.

Code formatter and run auto format

Holy wars are fun, but this is the answer.

At least this way the holy war takes place in commits to change the formatting file.

Unless go, in which case the holy war is now everyone who hates go format rewriting the code in a different language.
