Tabs And Spaces
One of the recent threads on the CSS-Discuss mailing list highlighted the occasional wit and humour frustrated developers sometimes show in when they leave comments within their work. In “Too Funny, and not really off topic” (apologies - the thread isn’t archived just yet [8:06pm]) “Too Funny, and not really off topic“, a list member highlights what can happen when you spend too long looking for a solution to a CSS problem.
To be honest, it’s not really something that I tend to do, because I am a calm, centred and well-balanced individual OK!!. Anyone that says otherwise is going down maaan, GOING DOWN!!!!.
(Actually, I just don’t tend to do it any more!)
Anyway, my favourite comment is provided by a link to “We Are Morons: a quick look at the Win2k source“, where a Microsoft progammer makes the argument for tabbing:
