And on that, I believe Linus uses 8-wide tabs. You are, apparently, doing it wrong if that causes problems.

- falcolas 9y agoGiven the ease with which editors resize tabs, and given the problems caused by excessively nested code: seems reasonable.
- jwdunne 9y agoI agree. I use spaces and 2 to 4 depending on typical language style but even then heavy nesting is obvious. I have a project full of essentially 'if (true) return true; else return false;'. Sometimes heavily nested. It's just not necessary. Guard-style returns go a long way but a long column of those may mask deeper problems of structure. I don't mean inheritance-polymorphism no-ifs but rather your code isn't dumb enough and perhaps your data isn't smart enough.
