fixed rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Indents should exclusively be a single tab per indent, not any number of spaces, and width should be handled by the IDE renderer, configurably, rather than baked into the code.
Tabs should be 4 spaces because it can be replaced 1:1 with "tabs".
For example...

Put that in your code review, cowards!
Only if a person's machine is set to a tab size of four spaces. By this logic, we would need eight spaces for the people with a larger tab size of eight on their machines so they could be 1:1. Minimizing horizontal space is ideal as not everyone has huge horizontal monitor space to work with. But, everyone has infinite vertical space with scrolling.
I think they mean the word 'tabs'
oh lol, I missed that =p
If your code takes up so much horizontal space with 4-space tabs, you're putting too much on one line or indenting too deep. 4-space tabs keeps your line length manageable.
If you have to nest more than 2 layers, rewrite your code.
Or you're using four spaces per tab, just throwing that out there. =p
I'm a tab stop = 8 kinda guy 2 is just tiny looks like an accidental leading space
(this is also why using spaces for indentation is bad)
using 3 space wide tabs ๐
although it doesn't matter to others, because it's an editor setting.
I use nano btw.
nano? I mean, really?
nano on the command line with syntax highlighting
why not nvim?
amen
