Tabs for indent, spaces for alignment. This is the way, I can't believe people are still fighting that ?
Anything for indent (barely matters, as long as the editor forces it to stay consistent), and fuck alignment, just put things on a new line.
Not like that, lol
Just saying, instead of this monstrosity
Just use
Putting the first argument on a separate line.
Same if you have an
if
using a bunch ofand
(one condition per line, first one on a new line instead of same line as theif
) and similar situations.When I talk about alignment it's not about function arguments, but values, "=" signs and such. You simply cannot use tabs for that because alignment must be fixed and indentation independent:
seconded on not aligning things. its the whole source of the problem in the first place and doesnt even serve a purpose
It does help with reducing thrashing between edits in git diffs. Or rather, opinionated autoformatters do, which is the only reason I bother with alignment.
