Programming languages that use white space to delimit structure are annoying at best. I get annoyed at yaml too, but I’m ok once I have a few templates set up.

YAML comes with its own unique pains in the ass https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell

These things actually matter, come up often enough to actually be annoying, and are a bit difficult to explain and learn into people. You’re basically fine if you just string quote everything that you can, but nobody does that.

Tabs suck. Use a real editor and spaces work fine.

Why tabs suck? Explain.

Tabs are neat.

Does you app have too many nested functions?

Use tab width = 2

Do your app have too less nested functions?

Use tab width = 8

Is your app having average number of nested fns?

Use tab width = 4(mostly default)

And all theese can happen without modifying a single byte in the source file, unlike spaces!
