We will argue 4 vs 2 spaces until we are blue in the face. God forbid someone to suggest a compromise of 3 spaces, for they will be murdered before they finish their sentence.

3 spaces is the most logical compromise. But because humans are illogical, we'll never see a 3 spaced code file.

we tried that at a previous gig; made everyone unhappy and uncomfortable. if it's code, IMHO, it's a tab (4 spaces!); if it's markup or documentation or config, two is perfect.

I bet you set the TV volume to odd numbers.

I use the Fibonacci sequence to set my volume.

I think you'll find the volume should be changed in increments of 5... 😉

The reason volume is adjusted in increments of 3dB is bc changes less than 3dB are imperceptible to the human ear.
