Writing lots of JavaScript had me leaning fairly hard towards indenting using spaces rather than tabs.
However this post from a friend of mine, @zwyx , has pretty clearly changed my mind.

"Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem - one library at a time" by Marvin Hagemeister https://marvinh.dev/blog/speeding-up-javascript-ecosystem/
I'll bet you could find a lot of little optimizations like these in common Node.js tools. I wonder how much of the speedup from various Rust/Go/etc replacements is just because nobody bothered to optimize the existing JS-based tools.

It’s a good time to reset, take stock, clean house, and own your content!
If you don’t yet have your own web site—it’s a good time to start!
1. The most crucial piece is ownership of the domain name.
2. Then add content (it can just be plain HTML!)
3. Iterate on it! Make it better, but more importantly—make it yours.
