I just love flame wars about spaces vs. tabs. ;-)
Anyone for VIM vs. Emacs next? When can I schedule American Football
vs. (Rest of World) Football?
First we have to go through the 'One True Bracing Style' debate. I've
been through this so many times that the progression is predictable.
- email inclusion formats and sig files
- tabs vs. spaces
- bracing style
- editor preferences
- gun control
- Hitler
When somebody finally brings up how Hitler would've done this or that,
the thread has finally been beaten to death.
At one of my employers, when we got to tabs and spaces we would just
declare 'hitler' on the thread and save filling everybody's mailbox with
three thousand messages covering all the intervening subjects.
Hitler.
Folks the only person who cares how you write code is the guy/gal who
has to fix your bugs - and perhaps your boss, because he/she will have
to hire the person to fix your bugs.
