I stumbled across this article a while back, and thought I would share it
on this Friday afternoon:
http://www.businessinsider.com/programmers-who-use-spaces-get-paid-more-than-those-who-use-tabs-2017-6
"Stack Overflow's data scientist David Robinson analyzed that data and
discovered that coders who use spaces earn on average nearly 9% more than
the ones who use tabs, even if they have the same amount of experience."
Before the datanerds[1] on this list have a violent reaction, the article
properly notes that "The survey points to a correlation, not a cause."
[1] I hope datanerd isn't seen as a derogatory term. To me, it's indicative
of respect and endearment.
