How makers stay productive

LET THE HOLY WARS BEGIN!

Jokes aside, tabs, no doubt. They're easier to work with. Editors have great support for them. I think they're aesthetically pleasing and easy to do. Just one key and you're done. Also easier to delete.

I really never understood the spaces crowd, aside from the extra granularity they provide.

But yes, the spaces crowd are psychopaths.

Tabs on Monday

Spaces are for Tuesday

Tabs and Spaces share a Wednesday

Coffee is for everyday

I'm a tabs guy by nature, but I never really had a dog in this fight until someone made the argument that spaces could make it really hard to read for coders with eyesight issues, so you can now put me firmly in the tabs column. :)

I only used spaces when I was learning Pascal in high school. So yea, I'm on the tabs camp because they are very easy to use, no need to count them, nice support in editors, can indent a selection of text with it, can indent back using shift+tab in most editors.

I use a custom extension that randomizes between 3 spaces and a tab.

Grab a 🍿 and go through the YT comments 😂

And also this has some insightful answers: https://dev.to/_shadz/tabs-vs-space-49l5

In practice, in most modern environments, tabs are implemented as spaces. So in reality there is no difference.

BTW most of you use spaces and don't realize it :P

VS Code default is to insert 4 spaces per tab. I change it to 2.
