W3schools ruined my life

When I see code that its indented with spaces I quit my job. No notice, no talk... I walk away and never show up again.

"Different editors interpret tabs differently"

That's the whole fucking point of tabs. Personal preference.

@Nelson Not all heroes wear capes. I salute you and your efforts to our noble cause. 😂😂

Welcome to devRant.

Tab it up anyways

Yes! It's supposed to be 2 spaces

Do they expect me to press space twice?

Two spaces sure, but four spaces is alot easier to read. Take a look at the standard in Python, the easiest language to read in the universe.

The spaces lobby is strong on W3Scools...

Well, nobody ranted about you snapping a photo instead of taking a screenshot, I'm kinda forced to be that guy now... LIGHTSHOT!!11!!1!1!11!!!

Use tab or don't indent at all. Let them suffer.

Fuck the police

@SpencerBeige What? No! All editors support soft tabs, you press tab and 2/4/8/n spaces come out!

@SpencerBeige press tab, get 2 spaces.
Most text editors can do this

Haha fuck w3s

I see many "tab zealots", who think we actually use the space-bar 4 times for four spaces.
Don't join a debate, when you are so oblivious. That is all.

Actually, not all. Stop the zealotry altogether and make constructive arguments instead

Indentation characters are not something a human should worry about, that's something IDE/editors/formatters ensure are consistent. Unless I show non-visible characters, I don't even know if I'm using tabs or spaces.

The people that should hang are those who use tables for alignment. I have met some so i knowthey exist, but I really hope they're a dying breed.

I personally prefer screenshots over photos of the screen..

@SISheogorath for ASCII art of course, but that has nothing to do with indentation.

And which editor requires a lot of configuration to use tabs?
It's usually just a toggle in the code style settings, which you will probably have to change anyways.

@SpencerBeige No... They expect you to press tab

@ctmalloy whenever i sre python i think "wtf is this shit?" and close the file and search a solution in another language.
Hail tabs

@DLMousey why? Cant mac render tabs? To spaces help with line endings?

@SISheogorath we are coders, not ASCII artists.

Space master race

@SISheogorath “so much configuration” ? I am sorry but what 😐

@DLMousey isn't that due to line endings? If you set your editor to LF it should work fine.

@SISheogorath that makes sense. I guess, if you're working alone or with a like-minded team, spaces are a bit easier to set up.

The tab way is the only way. I will convert everything If I have to

@SISheogorath ye looks the same for everyone, for ppl on the projects that worked with tabs of 2 size for allmost 20 years its a nightmare to have so much space of the sceen wasted with fucking 4 spaces. With tabs you can waste you screenspace as you pleasure and i still can have my 2sized.
Setting up your 2-3 text editors to use the same size of tabs should not be so complicated.

I can't see a problem with setting a tab to imitate 4 spaces... That's what I did in my Atom editor and the code looks good...
