Originally Published 1 year ago — by Ars Technica
Linus Torvalds reiterates his preference for tabs over spaces in the Linux kernel coding style by adding hidden tabs to a commit that attempted to replace a tab with a space. This sparked a robust rebuttal from Torvalds, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the kernel's coding style and the need for tools to properly parse tabs. The debate over tabs versus spaces continues within the context of the Linux kernel's coding standards.
