@storybook.js.org

Tabs vs spaces? Spaces!!
@reinhold.is
and I discovered that when it comes to AI codegen using Claude Sonnet 4.5, spaces consume fewer than half the tokens (= half the cost) as tabs. (Curiously, the difference is much smaller on GPT/Gemini/Deepseek, which all seem to use same tokenization.)
