 Okay but, tabs use less memory and that gives the program a smaller file size which makes it quicker to download

Unless you're only doing one space instead of double space but in that case, do other people contribute to your project and have you considered that may be why they don't? 
 You have no idea what you're talking about.  The "program" you download is a compiled binary, not the source code, and anyway, source files take up very little "memory". 
 "You have no idea what you're talking about" is not a good way to talk to someone. Its just more embarrassing when you get a counterpoint. I suggest against it in the future.

"If your code is being downloaded, such as HTML or Javascript or CSS, it makes a difference because the file is larger if spaces are used. How much larger depends on the number of lines and indent levels. It's the same as including comments in the code: they do increase file size.

If your code will be compiled, such as Actionscript or Java or C, or tokenized such as Perl, it makes no difference whether you use spaces or tabs, and you can include as many paragraphs of comments/documentation as you like, because it's only for your own benefit. All those tabs and spaces and comments will be ignored when the final, lower-level code is built."

 Its just a meme reply to a meme post anyway. "Save whole kbs of space" was supposed to be the joke. Your absolute disrespect killed the mood tho. 
 Witty @Jameson Lopp.
Never responds to this pleb when I interact with his account here, but... doesn't stop me from recognizing his wit.
Stay humble is a core bitcoiner value.
