This doesn’t matter so so much that I don’t even have the words for it

It does kiiiiinnnnda matter, but I just don’t care and it doesn’t affect me. Problem solving and remaining mentally flexible and able to switch gears is just kind of part of the field. But yeah, it feels like the “tabs or spaces” thing, in that, I have a preference, but I’m so used to encountering way, way dumber and worse bs that I don’t even care about tabs v spaces.
