Tabs are objectively better than spaces

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.

The choice of having tabs over spaces is essentially the same as putting up wheelchair ramp / elevators, tactile pavement, etc. or not.

You either care to make life easier for people with disabilities to participate in this particular form of social interaction or you don’t give a fuck because “you don’t like it”.
