Froot75547y@jhh2450 I'd respond to the tabs Vs spaces question with
"I guess you call me a *puts on sunglasses* spaceman" -
I've honestly never understood "this or that?" questions. What happens if it's neither, either and both at the same time? :-S
Luckily I haven't stumbled upon them so far in my interviews. :-D -
Hahahaha to all of you! As long as the code is legible, I will be okay with it, but the right way is tabs. Old habits die hard. :P
-
@Qaldim Yeah, I am no where near as confrontational as my rant, but that's why I added the Battlestar dialog in too. :)
-
I don't know whats the difference between both? Honestly I just let IDE handle formatting, never had to type a space nor tab
Unless you guys do depend on terminal or plain text editors for a quick fix -
AllenII16197yMy answer to that is honestly whatever is already in use by the team; i don't give a shit, it's whitespace either way
-
noctemx1157yI still like just using a text editor that converts tabs to spaces. Then everyone wins. Except Richard Hendriks.
-
There is not such a thing as right or wrong way to do anything, each one use what is better to him and we must respect.
Except for this, of course. Tabs forever! 😂😂😂😂 -
moort43407yVisual studio just inserts 4 or 5 spaces when you press tab.
So i use tabs and spaces. -
Root825417ySpaces > tabs.
However: I can use either. What I don't understand is why some people can't just use whichever their team uses. -

noctemx1157y@moolsbytheway well 1... your loss and 2 it's geek porn, in a matter of speaking lol 😂

IsLau67ytabs... to lazy to reformat the alignment when I check the committed codes to the repository during code review when someone uses spaces.
