i'm sure?

theres definitely a standard when writing it commercially

@M4Gunner you a tabs guy right?

I know, that Kernighan and Ritchie suggested a style for C, which not all adhere to

i only used spaces when i first started

Bjarne has his own style guide for cpp

What do you mean with using spaces? I use indent, but it gets transformed into spaces by my IDE

the reason for this is that the code looks in all editors and IDEs the same

sounds annoying

tabs are easier to nav when editing

so if my IDE converted all tabs to spaces, it would bother me

if it wanted to convert all instances of x amount of spaces to tabs, that might be okay

you will not be affected by it with a sophisticaed IDE

its really one of the stupidest points of contention

they both do literally the same thing: nothing.

sounds like sophisticated IDEs like to mutilate code without me realizing

the problem is that the code looks different in editors with different indent size

which is why Google and in general pros use spaces

then they can use the proper indent size in their respective editor

>pros use spaces

there was a study which found that people using spaces earn more

lick my ass you are bullshitting

because they know how to configure an IDE correctly

link to study

if they knew how to configure their IDE they would set the indent length to their preference and use tabs

not a controversy

not a raging one

i also dont think google has the best "pro" coders

<:what:382980756139409409>

this is a stackoverflow survey

not a representative sample

my guess?

the real niggas who get paid more to code arent answering faggot questions for free on SO

```Obviously, using spaces is not the fundamental reason why those folks are making more money. The survey points to a correlation, not a cause. There are other reasons that developers who use spaces are are doing work that pays more, but the data provided no real clues as to what those reasons were.

```

you don't say

isn't that obvious.

this is the kind of dogmatic faggotry i mentioned to @MountainMan

yep

I explained you the reasoning behind spaces. You can use tabs

I'm a tab nigga
