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.
What, the code is made up by the number of consecutive spaces, delineated by tabs, line feeds, carriage returns (which have different semantics from line feeds) and non-breaking spaces?
