Mixing spaces and tabs should be a warcrime.

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…

To comply with Python’s best practices:

Also, if you work on the Linux Kernel, you’ll see a mix of tabs and spaces:

Also, it seemd like a huge waste of time hitting the space bar so many times…

You use an editor that doesn’t auto-indent?

Don’t IDEs just replace any tab with 4 spaces anyways? Pretty sure VSCode does

That’s a setting in the editor.

I    don’t    use    an    ide,    but    I    wrote    a    script    that    replaces    any    space    I    type    with    four.

I    haven’t    worked    out    all    the    use    cases    yet,    though.

I use the tab key but I’m pretty sure vs code converts that to spaces

And in Python, it’s merely a SyntaxCrime.
