I use the tab key but I’m pretty sure vs code converts that to spaces

Depends on your settings, but yeah typically it does

It worries me that a programmer wouldn’t know for sure what’s happening when they hit tab, and that it’s a setting that can be changed.

I mean I was 99% sure it convert to spaces, I cannot say I was certain. The default settings are fine for what I do, I only ever had to change the spacing from 4 to 2 spaces once when dealing with someone else’s files
