Tabs are better
Read OriginalThe article critiques the habitual use of spaces for code indentation, presenting a rational case for using tabs instead. It highlights accessibility as the key argument: tabs are configurable for individual developer needs (e.g., font size, monitor width) and are more efficient for braille displays used by blind programmers. It counters common pro-space arguments like 'consistency,' framing them as unexamined habits rather than technical merits.
