Neither tabs or spaces are good. The correct way is to leave no whitespace in the code at all. It's unnecessary and adds to processing time.

Everyone should aim for 1LOC per commit

Great, no scrolling through thousands of lines to find the right one!

Scrolling to a line number seems inefficient.

Now next time I read anything about why any Python libraries are named what they are named, I'm going to hear Dr Doofenschmirtz voice. Thank you for that.
