I've also been coding 30 years. I have to use same line at work, and I use next line in my (very large) side projects. Honestly, I don't know what the difference is.

How big once you remove all the extra newlines?

LOL. This is the part of the Silicon Valley episode-bar-scene where the fight breaks out.

Thank god OC didn't mention "Just like you move from tabs to spaces."

I never understood this part of the show. I'd think that the genius inventor of a breakthrough compression algorithm whose WHOLE POINT was high quality lossless compression would prefer spaces over tabs. After all, the compression algorithm can deal with it... without the issues that result from embedding hard tabs in a source file.

Well, he shouldn't have, considering it's the other way around.. :-)
