Tabs!

Saved as an actual \t, and they should be 4 spaces wide when displaying. Fight me.

Spaces! But hitting the "tab" key automatically fills in the required number of spaces.

AI good, AI bad; doesnt matter Corpos and the Ultra Rich are shit and needs to be destroyed so that we can be free!

It's not even "AI", there's no intelligence behind it, no processed understanding of reality by an intelligence with their own will, traits and desires. The way it is today, as a text compilation and generation tool, has its uses...

Apple's walled garden vs open platforms. Sure if I'm in the garden it all just works but I'm not the only person on the planet and not everyone in my sphere is in the garden.

In programming. New line before the opening bracket? Or after the opening bracket?

I prefer this:

function sayHello()
{
    console.log("Hello!");
}

Same. Makes it easier to comment out a conditional and use something else when debugging.

Plus it's a lot easier to visually match braces.

depends on the language recommendation and the project. Have it as a auto-on-save mechanism and you don't even have to think about that.

That’s one way around the issue.
