FOUR CUBIC FRAMES
DISPROVES SOFT G GOD
YOU ARE EDUCATED STUPID

soft tabs are a loving abomination against computing and i will fight you on this issue

gently caress you soft tab typers

spaces aren't loving tabs you idiots. buh buh buh but what about my cross platform compatibility?? set your poo poo up correctly one time and all that poo poo goes away you loving baby. shut the gently caress up. SHUT THE gently caress UP.

soft tabs are loving obnoxious always, hard tabs are a minor inconvenience the first time you log into the ide and never again after.



gently caress you soft tabs jerk off fucks.

never really understood soft tabs

some like 3 space wide tabs, some prefer 4. it's like hey, guess what? go in your editor's settings and you can set the display width of hard tabs to whatever you want without loving it up for everyone else

if you git grep for a tab character in your codebase and find any outside of makefiles, you're doing programming wrong

when you're coding to make poo poo look wicked cool and easy to read you "indent" poo poo

you can do this by pressing the tab key, and the thing sorts it ou9t fr you
or you can just press space like 9 or 14 or 16 times in a row, like some kind of morphine addicted lab rat

hard tabs are superior but people are too loving stupid so they are a pipe dream

you would need a linter program that would physically manifest a malevolent robot to murder offenders in order for it to work

this is wrong

hard tab is when you press tab and the actual tab character is used

soft tab is hitting tab and the actual tab character is instead replaced by a bunch of spaces

at work i use an ancient piece of software that generates HTML which uses non-breaking spaces to indent bulleted lists

it works about as well as you'd expect

there are some people that somehow believe the debate is actually around hitting tab for indentation versus hitting space a whole bunch of times for indentation

i know it's easier to fit the spaces up your dickhole than a full tab, but that's hardly a reason to prefer them for coding

people only do the two-space thing because that's how their boomer teacher was taught back when typing meant to smear carbon on tree meat

just let it go already

it's going to be okay

It's good to terminate the lines of the most powerful code in a file with \r\n - a strong statement deserves a strong newline.

[serious voice] Use hard tabs for your personal projects for scraping pics of mens asses from the web OP. Whatever. Use soft tabs for actual work when more than one person will edit the file so you don't gay up the diff hunks with your whitespace mental illness.
