🤢 Wow, someone raised request for an optional tab indentation support for accessibility on Blac, a popular formatter for #Python. They closed the issue and said "No, tabs for indentation are the devil. Making this configurable would go against Black's philosophy." #accessibility #indentation github.com/psf/black/issues/27…

@vick21 Maybe bc money? ROFL According to Stack Overflow 2017 Developer Survey, "Coders who use spaces for indentation make more money than ones who use tabs, even if they have the same amount of experience. the median developer who uses spaces had a salary of $59,140, while the median tabs developer had a salary of $43,750. The model estimated that using spaces instead of tabs is associated with an 8.6% higher salary (confidence interval (6%, 10.4%), p-value < 10^-10)." stackoverflow.blog/2017/06/15/…

@pete

You're calling out a guy who is already putting in his time, for free, because he's rejecting a feature request that you think is very important.

If there's a feature you want there's nothing stopping you (or anyone else) from making a fork and adding this feature. That's how open source works.

Or you could just use something else.

@aeu @pete There's already fork with the feature. Are you saying no one should calling out someone spreading ablism just because it's free and opensource? Open source community is not justification for descrimination sexism, racism, ageism, etc.
