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.
Great, no scrolling through thousands of lines to find the right one!
Scrolling to a line number seems inefficient.
Right? I’ll just open the “go to line” box, enter 1 and boom- I’m there.
Or I’ll click the filename.ext:1 in the IDE’s console to jump to the right line. Super convenient not having to scroll vertically anymore.
