    @DGApps Honestly from what I've found, the effect we're talking about is pretty minute, like bytes minute. But they can add up. I'm not really one for small amounts of storage but it can somewhat affect code dense files and this is somewhat helpful when it comes to small ssds.

    And I personally read tabs easier than I do spaces. Smaller file sizes + easier readability = I get to use tabs.

    Any decent IDE will convert it anyway. PEP8 states python should be 4 spaces indents but fuck that, hit tab and let PyCharm sort it out.

    Well if you would use 1-Space-Indentation it wouldn't matter, right?

    @jhole89 Nah its fine tho... had to start using it because someones codebase was built like that... You get used to it pretty quickly tho.

    @Akio sod that I'd reactor the whole codebase. If they have a shit fit you send them the coding guidelines for the right relevant language.

    @jhole89 It's a hobby project so hard to get that done. Also sometimes you just need to get out of your comfort zone. Its JavaScript btw.
