       Who up indenting their JSON with 3 spaces?

       @SuperDicq Only monsters use spaces, you must use tabs so they are configurable by the editing tool respecting everyone's freedom to make each indent level half of the screen

       @eskuero@mstdn.io The fact that every tool displays tabs different is the reason why you should use spaces, to ensure your file displays the same in everyone's editor?

       @SuperDicq tools usually allow you to configure the display length of a tab

       @eskuero@mstdn.io Yes, but the only correct configuration is 4 and if you set it to something else it will not display correctly. So it's better to just use 4 spaces to ensure it always shows as 4 spaces.

       @SuperDicq to be more clear I just meant that it allows anybody to have their own preference. Using spaces basically forces them in a way. Not the end of the world anyway but something nice to have
