if people are getting this fired up about the debate regarding whether tabs or spaces are better in programming in my replies, i'm scared to bring up the editor wars

@mjdxp@labyrinth.zone I write tabs but idk if JetBrains or Zed turn them into spaces, nevertheless I have both tab width and space count set to 4

@mjdxp@labyrinth.zone tbh, I don't judge people for anything in this case. I personally try to use 4 space for code that shouldn't nest too deep and 2 space for stuff like configurations and markup. I don't tend to use tabs at all, because their width is too inconsistent between editors imo. The only thing I find mildly cursed is 8 space tabs. That's just a heinous crime lol
