Yesterday, I shared some spicy takes. A few were particularly controversial—most notably, that I correct Gif the correct way (with a soft G)—but I also got a lot of emails asking me to elaborate on a few of them. Today, I wanted to talk about how tabs are objectively better than spaces. This won’t take long. Tabs let you define how big you want each indent to be, and spaces do not.

    Ah, the best kind of indent. A tab and a space.

      Or just set tabsize to 9, that’s the point :)
