Python: So you used spaces and tabs for indentation? NOW DIE!
Find me anyone who claims they use tabs for indentation, and I bet I’ll find at least one case where they’re using both tabs and spaces.
The only safe way to avoid war crimes is to avoid tabs.
Why would I use spaces if I use tabs? Also, it seemd like a huge waste of time hitting the space bar so many times…
Don’t IDEs just replace any tab with 4 spaces anyways? Pretty sure VSCode does
Linux kernel?

edit: oh python, nevermind
Good. Spaces and tabs for indentation should never be mixed in any language other than Whitespace.
Some people use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment. It kind of gets the pros of tabs (user configurable indent-width) and the pros of spaces (alignment). That doesn’t work in Python where you can’t align stuff and the interpreter doesn’t allow mixing tabs with spaces, but in other languages it is a possible style.
