I have really enjoyed watching this show but the last few episodes it seems like the writing has went downhill. There were a number of cringe worthy scenes like "tabs vs spaces".

Seriously? I laughed out loud at the "tabs vs spaces" scene since I have seen it played out exactly like that at several jobs.

I wonder if they intentionally got the details of the tabs/spaces argument wrong (by implying that you type the spaces manually, by saying 1 tab can save 8 spaces -- I doubt many coders uses 8 space tabs, if any, ...) as a wind-up for the actual coders watching.

It seems weird to have the inside knowledge of such a heated but obscure topic, and then get the detail wrong. I hope it was intentional because it points to them playing with their audience in quite a Machiavellian way.

At my work, that tabs vs spaces ended up being the most discussed scene. I thought it was genius.

Disagree. I laughed out-loud at that scene, and enjoyed talking with my wife about it later. Also, spaces is the correct answer.

Speaking of writing going downhill...

[mentos]

I feel like a lot of the humor in the show came from Erlich Bachman who is no longer in the drivers seat this season.

Have you seriously never seen or had this argument?
