    Find me anyone who claims they use tabs for indentation, and I bet I’ll find at least one case where they’re using both tabs and spaces.

    The only safe way to avoid war crimes is to avoid tabs.

      Why would I use spaces if I use tabs? Also, it seemd like a huge waste of time hitting the space bar so many times…

        Why would I use spaces if I use tabs?

        To comply with Python’s best practices:

        https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/

        Also, if you work on the Linux Kernel, you’ll see a mix of tabs and spaces:

        You use an editor that doesn’t auto-indent?

                To be fair you can totally bind an arbitrary number of spaces to tab in vi. I’ll dig out the syntax highlighting file some time. Oh and I use vim really.

      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

      Don’t IDEs just replace any tab with 4 spaces anyways? Pretty sure VSCode does

        I    don’t    use    an    ide,    but    I    wrote    a    script    that    replaces    any    space    I    type    with    four.

        I    haven’t    worked    out    all    the    use    cases    yet,    though.

        That’s a setting in the editor.

      Linux kernel?

        The kernel definitely mixes tabs and spaces:
