Programmer pay and indent-style: tab-using coders earn less than space-using coders

[heh]

@snej

There is a very real lack of consensus in how wide a f***ing Tab character is,

But that’s the point of using tabs. If you do indenting using tabs (and only tabs) the amount of indentation becomes a preference. To me if a coder uses spaces for indentation it feels like he is pushing is preference. Like if he forces me to use a certain font size in the editor.
