Statistics show spaces pay better than tabs

According to statistics, programming with spaces instead of tabs makes you richer
This is actually terrible news.
Not only is using spaces to indent code better, it pays more too.

*shrug* I use tabs and I'm making significantly more than either of the figures listed there. :P

They clearly didn't ask you!

@Tsaukpaetra Actually they did. I took that poll.

Clearly your opinion didn't matter then, of was detected as a troll entry.

Fun fact: Certain IDEs, such as Visual Studio, change tabs into spaces for you whether you want spaces or not.

That's not fun, that's tragic.
WHERE MY TABS GONE?!

Two things:
- If the guy isn't writing tongue-in-cheek, he's an ass.
- It doesn't frakkin' matter whether you use spaces or tabs.
-
With tabs I still might be paid more per typed character!
-
@Kian I guess using tabs correlates with insisting in things that don't work because you're "right", and ignoring the fact that people do mistakes or don't follow your rules all the time.

Spurious Correlations
Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.
First chart right now is this:

Huh, they could have linked to the original source material you know:

@boomzilla This one's funnier:
-
Statistics show that JavaScript developers like to use spaces and are also paid more in general because everything is an SPA
-
@RaceProUK said in Statistics show spaces pay better than tabs:

especially since any IDE that doesn't suck will change spaces to tabs and vice versa depending on which switch you toggle

That one is probably a real thing, it's pretty well documented.

Wow, I out-obscured @ben_lubar with xkcd reference. How is it possible?

Only if you're an idiot and set that option.

I never checked who wrote the article before this, but as soon as I saw the part about him being his ass, I knew it had to be Peter Bright.

@dcon That "stupid option" happens to be turned on by default in every version of Visual Studio I've ever used across multiple computer systems.

-
@powerlord ...if you have it set that way.

Only if you're an idiot and set that option without telling your boss so you can get that secret raise.

@powerlord said in Statistics show spaces pay better than tabs:
Fun fact: all decent IDEs, such as Visual Studio, change tabs and spaces into spaces or tabs for you, according to the project settings.

@blek I was pretty sure I stole that from somewhere. Thanks for confirming!

Do I have to explain the concept of a "default" to you?

Nope, it set to that as a default. You'll type tab, it'll put in 4 spaces. That's the world works. But it won't replace existing tabs with spaces, but it'll warn you about it and it'll let you unify it.
Also, you're an idiot.

Not for C++ :) (I did notice C# default is spaces. Yea consistency!)

Hey, I inspired a meme. NESCAFÉ! GO GO NESCAFÉ!

@dcon Really? Weird. I would have thought since it's the default in both VB.NET and C# that it'd be the default application-wide.
...yes, I've used VB.NET before. hangs head in shame

That's where you fail to meet your obligations in a contract and Consequences happen, right?
-
@Tsaukpaetra no, that's when you ignore the problem and carry on. The C version of
On Error Resume Next.

Point of order: Visual Studio subbing spaces for tabs is the most annoying thing in the universe, and results in my hitting Ctrl-K-D every single file in a code review because some fuckwit clicked where he wanted his code to go and was off by a space, and never fixed it.
People who indent by physically pressing the spacebar n times need to be shot. Everyone uses the fucking tab key.
Why the fuck not let it emit the fucking tab character already?

They had this long sequence of her pressing the space bar herself. I mean, that would be stupid, no one does that and they really went to far there. Couldn't they just do this scene as like a merge trouble or something?
"Honey, you've used the spaces again and the whole file is misaligned. Fuck you, I quit." That would've been much better!

He's just a bit artistic. Oops, I meant autistic.

@Polygeekery the great thing about Sublime Text 2 isn't that it lets you pick - it's that it automatically sets your indentation settings to whatever the file you opened has.
Files where some lines are indented with spaces and some lines are indented with tabs are the @mikeTheLiar of text files.

because then some noobs with their 800x600 screens cant go as deep with their indentation nesting before it runs off the right side of their screen (or exceeds their editor's 80 character max width limit)*.
single space indenting ftw?

Why Tabbers are paid at all?

The great thing about proper IDEs like Visual Studio is all these small features that you take for granted and don't even think about when using it, up until you're forced to use a primitive tool like Atom or Vim and suddenly file-type-dependent formatting or finding all subclasses seems like real luxury.

What on Earth are you talking about?
Visual Studio has fucked up more indentation than any other program I have ever written code in.

Look at all the files with random tabs in the middle of spaces or random spaces in the middle of tabs. That entire project was made in Visual Studio.
