    YAML mixes 2 and 4 spaces all the time. Python scripts don’t run if you write this kind of crap.

    Sure it does. You only need to be consistent within a block. Python’s syntax is ridiculous and solves problems that basically don’t exist.

    All of my java/kotlin/rust/etc. code is trivially well formatted and can be done by my editor. Moving code blocks is trivial. Refactoring is easier when I didn’t need to hand -format the code just to make it work.




  • One thing to address is that if you’re sending lots of emails you start to raise concerns about being a spammer. Especially if somebody forgets they signed up for your newsletter and clicks “report as spam”. It can be a quick way to get blocked from your mail provider since they can themselves become blocked and they’d rather ban you than deal with that hassle. Just be sure whoever you’re sending mail through is okay with you sending “bulk” mail.
