Re:Tabs or spaces – Parsing a 1B files among 14 programming ... by Fuxy on Wednesday August 31, 2016 @08:34AM (#12397790)
Honestly I don't care either way just a long as the file doesn't mix tabs with spaces.

I hate when the code looks perfectly aligned in my editor but is completely messed up in git because git renders tabs a different with.

I personally prefer spaces on my own projects because in the early days a tab used to be fixed at 8 spaces and I though that was a bit too much.

It's adjustable now but I don't think it was then or at least I wasn't aware it was.
