4 space indentation for the win! 🤓

Those of us who use spaces know that our indentation isn't going to get messed up.

This is important.

We also clearly care enough to want fine-grained control over our visual horizontal and vertical alignment.

This is also important.

And clearly important enough to be rewarded! 😊

I use 2 spaces.

@edwrodrig Burn the heretic!

(Only kidding).

I think consistency is more important than the number of spaces.

In my Pascal days at University I used 3 spaces.

Starting work I used 2 spaces to fit in with colleagues.

Then switched to 4 spaces to fit in with another team.

I've found I prefer 4 spaces, but don't really mind so long as the indentation is consistent.

@Wildgoose I don't mind. I like the 80 cols rule, so every character is precious, specially when you have long meaningful function names. But that is my choice. Not a big deal.

@edwrodrig I follow the same rule, (actually 79 chars).

One advantage of using 4 spaces is that it very quickly shows that your code is becoming too deeply indented.

Keeping indentation levels down is a very good way of keeping unnecessary complexity from your code.

Basically, it's fewer context switches for the CPU in your head.

Ffs, from now on I'll use space-tab-space-pooEmoji-space for my indentation since obviously people don't care about proper indentation...

They get payed hourly and waste time pressing spacebar.

Bullshit

Why should i press a key multiple times when i just can hit it one time? 😂
The life is limited like the amount of chars for the commentinput 😂😂😂

Because they look more active

@Christian1998 I press tab and let my editor convert that to whatever the convention for the project is.
