Why are there two spaces instead of four in this Python code, it hurts my soul

How is it a cost saving measure? Or are you being sarcastic? Hard to tell over text!

Yes, I'm joking. I also feel hurt by 2 space indents.

Hahaha I was sort of hoping you were an MBA who truly believed hitting 2 spaces instead of 4 spaces would save some sort of money at scale!

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but if you're serious, I'm pretty sure the OP is talking metaphorically. It's just a slight annoyance he's not "emotional" about it.

I also fail to see how someone who is annoyed by code that doesn't follow well established standards is somehow not a good fit in the C-suite.

I guess they haven't read https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#indentation

"Use 4 spaces per indentation level."

I assume they copied it from Google.
