Programmers who use spaces 'paid more'

[Rooster]

My works forced coding standards are 2 spaces for indents.

2?!  You might as well not bother indenting at all!

Yeah, it's fifty spaces or don't indent at all.

Seriously though, I use two spaces as well.

[EdzUp]

2 is standard in our company as well.

I always indent 4

[Steve Elliott]

Yep 4 spaces, or it's pretty much pointless and leads to cluttered code.

[Xaron]

Why does it lead to cluttered code? 

I mean obviously some guys have had some deep thinking, there must be a reason to put 2 space indention into a company policy for over 1,000 employees?

[Steve Elliott]

Because when you get to any nested code it becomes a mess.

You're saying all large companies make the best decisions every time?

[Xaron]

Haha no. Got me.

[Steve Elliott]

lol it doesn't make things any quicker, because modern systems correctly fill out the 4 spaces with a click of the tab key.

And the more complicated code becomes, the more there is a need for the (usual) standard of 4 spaces.  Having just 2 seems to indicate people are making their functions/procedures too wordy, so they are trying to cram everything onto one line!
