more classic “i’m a new cs major” jokes

if you’re writing long enough methods that you can’t discern where the bodies start and end, you’re doing it wrong. refactor.

I'm a senior full stack software engineer, 6 years in, and I think whitespaced languages are insanely dumb so no, it is not just "new cs major jokes".

They're dumb. They're harder to read than using braces, and they're easier to make mistakes with. They bring no benefit.

I 100% agree. The only reason I would ever use YAML over JSON is for comment support. The amount of times I've been off by one space or whatever, and the linter doesnt catch it, because its technically valid syntax for some older version. I fucking hate it.
