Tabs > spaces

Tabs does allow you to set the spacing you need.
Spaces are like hardcoding passwords

Yeah, tabs are larger spaces, what’s your point?

/s

You may be right, but I still have an unreasonable hate for tabs in code

And I for spaces.

Let’s hate both and be mad at the client?

I like the way you think.

Both tabs and spaces are stupid.

It’s ridiculous that in 2024, code formatting is still embedded in the source instead of being a style you apply.

Tabs for indenting and spaces for aligning. There. Everybody wins and loses.

This way the code always looks aligned and if you prefer 4 spaces for a tab instead of 2 or 3 or 8 you can just set it in your IDE.

Crisis averted!
