Why Trailing Spaces MattersI really do not like trailing spaces. Trailing spaces are any extra spaces or tabs at the end of a line of code or text. They may seem harmless, but they can cause problems for developers, editors, and users - and they somehow burn my eyes :) Trailing spaces can affect the efficiency of the code or file in several ways. First, they can increase the file size unnecessarily, which can slow down the loading and processing time.
