    Oh my god I got fucked by a python script once because of a single space. It took forever to figure out what went wrong

      I refuse to code in Python without a really good IDE and linting like PyCharm. When using PyCharm it’s very rare I have issues like this, because it catches them in one way or another, but I notice it catches those kinds of issues a lot when I’m coding soooooooo…

      I have also setup the IDE to specifically color code comments like

      ’ # End If and ’ # Next

      in the same style as their beginning statements as I find it much easier to visually scam through code when they are present.

      You can’t use Python without a linter. I have everything setup in vscode to use tabs yet copilot autocomplete insists on inserting random spaces everywhere creating indentation errors. The linter is essential to quickly see and fix them.
