The Moment when you signend a contract at a new cool company... Good money... Cool projects... nice ppl... And then you see it... 4 spaces instead of 1 tab, what to do? Go back to my old boss and beg for my old job? Just keep using 1 tab as i did in the last 20 years of my life? Commit suicide?

4 spaces FTW

Just use four spaces.. Fanaticism never has any good effects..

Make a formatter. When you get it, every line that starts with 4 ws turns into a tab. When you're done, every line that starts with a idention turns into 4 ws.

Come to the dark side... we have spaces!

Do you have a good LinkedIn profile and loads of connections? You could ask some recruiters to find a job for you. Which country are you in? Maybe online job portals will help?

Yep, i did it, i started to use 4 spaces =( im a traitor, heretic, burn me

As that one video someone posted a while back showed, if your partner uses spaces, it's worth ending it over.

Don't many IDEs give the option to type 4 spaces when you press tab? I know VS can do it.

Am i the only one that actually doesn't care? As long as there is a known convention.. But maybe i have suffered too much. I appreciate the obvious

If the tab/space question is your biggest issue, then I'd say you've found yourself a pretty great company.

Imo, adopting a specified coding style convention is part of the job description as a dev.

I know this is an ancient religious war, so I'm not gonna declare one better than the other, but spaces are - by far - the more popular choice. So maybe just accept that there are more than one way to do it, adhere to company style guide, and realise that this is a very tiny problem. Not worth getting upset over. Just configure your tools and you won't feel any difference

this isnt even in my top 20 concerns when joining a new place. I would suck it up if i were you, there are worse things in dev world.

@apisarenco jep, i hate it. Ppl underestimate when they never had the glory of tabs

Find " " and replace w/ 1-Tab 😊😊
