I believe either will work, so your call. If you really want to spark a tabs vs spaces holy war, I'll throw my vote in for tabs: they're semantic, whereas spaces are not--the meaning of a tab is "this is one level of indentation". Using spaces for indentation is like using <span class="italic"> instead of <i> for italics.

It is banned; they're talking about un-banning it

Because of studies like https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.03622:

Overall, we find that participants who had access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI's codex-davinci-002 model wrote significantly less secure code than those without access. Additionally, participants with access to an AI assistant were more likely to believe they wrote secure code than those without access to the AI assistant.

That's the Washington Post

We're right there with y'all.

That would be equally annoying. Probably a better signal to noise ratio on IRC though; Discord descends into memes almost instantly.

Seriously. It's beyond painful when some open source project only uses Discord for communication. You have to hope that you post your question at a time when the right people are online, and that there's not a more interesting conversation going on, otherwise it just gets lost. Index that whole dataset.

I don't know why you're being down voted; here's an upvote for being sensible.

Thanks, forgot that one!

Just FYI something "reeks" if it smells bad; "wreak" is pretty much only used with "havoc" and means to cause (generally harm). English is weird.
