This week I took an enormous step, moved camps and adjusted my first repo to be tabs-first!

I've been a "spaces" guy for forever but today's the day: I'm switching to tabs. 😲  ✅ Better for accessibility ✅ Takes less disk space  Now I only have to get used to all these arrows. 😅

I transformed all JS information (together with all node_modules) of my weblog’s code base to tabs and saved a whooping 11MB on my arduous drive. So, this can be a weak argument at greatest.

However off to the second argument: code with tabs shouldn’t be solely extra versatile, however it is usually extra accessible to blind programmers utilizing braille shows. Issues needs to be as accessible as doable, in order that’s sufficient to persuade me; I am bought!

What do you suppose? Will you pack your stuff and transfer camps, too?
