Why do I need to be good at indenting when it can be 100% automated assuming the language has braces? I’m a programmer, not a typesetter from 1520.

- NotMichaelBay 3y agoIndenting is not hard, and programmers should be good at it, provided they care about clean code. I like that Python forces indentation rules because it means I'll never have to read code that has confusing/improper indentation. ESLint has an indent rule to enable it for JavaScript.
