- jbverschoor 9y agoI bet he's using tabs ;)
- molly0 9y agoHaha, and Richard hating on spaces seems strange for a python developer.
- jrcii 9y agoIt may not be a Sony computer, that partial bezel looks like a MacBook. Sony may have paid for the placement of their logo there.
- cfj 9y agoI found that funny as hell and it was probably 100% intentional.
- bengoodger 9y agoIt takes special effort to configure a variable width font in a code editor. I have to wonder if they do this to troll observant people like you :p
- rusk 9y agoIt probably ties into the whole tabs vs whitespace thread ...
- dmix 9y agoThey chose to side with tabs to troll the programmers who know what they are talking about?
- rusk 9y agoPreferring tabs to spaces makes sense when you're using variable width fonts?
- thomastjeffery 9y agoYes. Unless your editor happens to do some really nice formatting.
- woobar 9y agoIt takes zero effort in IntelliJ (pictured above). I remember reading a suggestion about proportional fonts in a discussion on HN about code editor preferences. Switched to them several years ago and never looked back.
- thomastjeffery 9y agoI can see the appeal, so long as characters like l1I are distinguishable, and indentation was done well.
- ryangittins 9y agoGiven the attention to detail they've displayed with other aspects of the show, I'm almost certain this was an intentional joke.
- SmellyGeekBoy 9y agoYou think this is cringeworthy? Wait 'til you discover CSI... ;)
- Apocryphon 9y agoWhat, you think Richard Hendricks or someone on his team can't put together a Hackintosh?
- Stratoscope 9y agoThat is indeed cringe-worthy, all except the proportional font. I read and write all my code in a proportional font and have for many years. In fact, I think proportional fonts are something every developer should try for a while, even if you end up preferring a monospaced font. In particular, if you're in the habit of using column alignment, a proportional font will quickly teach you to stop doing that and use indentation instead.
