My boss and I have gotten into it about this. He puts two spaces after a period, I put one space. I went through and removed his double spaces and replace them with single spaces and he got mad. I’m 40, he’s 60. I learned to type on an Apple II, he apparently did not..
- Kinrany 4y agoConsistency for the sake of consistency is pure busywork.
- noduerme 4y agoWhat about consistency for the sake of presenting a unified writing style across your company? It's definitely important if you're a newspaper.
- mbreese 4y agoWait until you work with someone who codes with tabs instead of spaces. (Or vice versa if you’re a tabs-person, no judgement).
- noduerme 4y agoI'm the worst. I use tabs, but then I add spaces when one line of code is broken into more than one line on the screen. e.g. I like the second line of function parameters to line up directly under the first, regardless of how long the function name is.
- wruza 4y agoI don’t think you’re the worst. Indent with tabs, pad with spaces is a pretty common rule in tabs community, afaik. Edit: worst are those with auto-reindent-it-my-way-on-save feature always on.
- Overtonwindow 4y ago...Wow. I'm speechless at that. I don't know what I would do to that person in a dark alley....
