Tabs vs. Spaces

Read Original

This article discusses the perennial debate between using tabs or spaces for code indentation. The author, while currently using spaces, advocates for a hybrid approach to improve accessibility. They demonstrate how different indentation widths (1, 2, 4, 8 spaces) affect readability for developers with varying visual needs, such as those requiring high zoom or those with difficulty recognizing shapes. The core argument is that using tabs allows individual developers to set their preferred display width, making code more inclusive and adaptable.
