Tools like Prettier can automate this with curly-brace languages, so indentation (tabs or spaces?) stops being something you waste brain power on, similar to how code editors will match the current line's indent on the next line when you press enter even though it's just "press tab a few times". It adds up. // just copied some code into this while block, oops I copied an extra space out front... while (...) { if (...) { ...} } // after Ctrl+S tied to autoformat while (...) { if (...) { ... } }
