What is the most meaningless, silly, un-important programming-related opinion that you'll just continue to defend?
We're all familiar with Tabs vs. Spaces...
But what are some other pointless fights that you're always willing to fight about?

But seriously. use spaces.
indent with tabs align with spaces dmitryfrank.com/articles/indent_wi...
Tabs and spaces?
Have you learned nothing from American "politics" or Twitter?
Compromise is weakness AND WEAKNESS IS DEATH!
I get the argument for spaces and all, but as someone who has vision problems 2-space indention makes my life way more difficult. I mean I'm not against adjusting my own workspace to accommodate the rest of them team since I'm the only person who has several vision impairments, but I'm honestly still not convinced the difference justifies the extra work.
The heading of this article is petty opinions, so there is no justification.
Just make your IDE to use space characters when you press tab. Done, everybody wins
Oh this is going to be good.
While I use spaces, my mom like a monster. She doesn’t like spaces because of tick tick voices.
WordPress is an over-complicated and out-dated framework that shouldn't be used for anything more complex than a plain-text blog.
😱 I'm not going to discuss but gonna tell you're not 100% correct. ✌🏽
What a wholesome community 🤗

That sounds so metal 🤘
I don't agree it's overcomplicated but it definitely should be used only for the blogs and small shops in my opinion. For everything bigger it quickly becomes a disaster.
Naming coventions,
Readability of switch -case,
Curly style, egyptian or line separated,
Number of arguments in function signature
Any language is more suitable to a task than Javascript.
(It's only partially objective. I have technical reasons for my hatred of Javascript, but I try to accept that it has uses. I'd just sooner change careers than use Javascript in any measurable amount.)
I am of the personal opinion that JS is hot garbage.
I think that's the consensus.
I mean Javascript is the only language that's so bad that both Google and Microsoft had to create other languages that transpile to it (with Dart and Typescript) to avoid writing javascript.
OTOH, JavaScript may be the closest to Lisp an Algol descendant gets.
Anyone who writes more efficient code than me is pretentious.
😄😄😄
But developers who use spaces make more money.

The creator of Python said if he had to go back in time he would have made 2 space mandatory to stop this space vs tabs wars.
lol
Guido van Rossum prefers tabs [1].
I think putting any kind of semantics in things you cannot print is a big mistake. This includes newlines like used in JavaScript.
CSS-in-JS is a mess, framework or not.
Mac os and widows stink for programming they are way to locked down and aren't widely used in production environments. In my opinion linux of bsd should be used for everything except apple apps (all of them), windows apps, and situation where Visual Studio is required.
