Have you tried formatting tools like prettier / black / gofmt / rustfmt? I used to have lots of tabs vs spaces type opinions but now “use a formatting tool and stop arguing about it” has replaced all of my style opinions. Once you have more than one person working on a project it’s just so nice to never have a stupid argument about formatting again.

It will always baffle me how some programmers believe that meetings are the bane of their existance because "they only waste time", while at the same time they can entertain the "tabs vs. spaces" (or "vim vs. emacs") discussion for hours.
I don't care about the indentation method, I just want to press Tab, or Ctrl+S and have it do the right thing. Not waste any brainpower thinking about it.
