Software dev bombshell: Programmers who use spaces earn MORE than those who use tabs

I wonder if, the more experience you have with documents (i.e., the older you are), the more likely you are to prefer spaces in programming? I wonder if the survey was corrected for age of respondents, with the idea that the older you are, the more you're likely to be paid.

I use Allman, but the code I usually write doesn't have braces. Were I programming in a brace-y language, I'd probably prefer Pico. According to the wiki article Indent_Style. Whitespace makes me feel vaguely uneasy, like wasting paper. I like to see it all on one sheet / screen. Still neatly formatted, mind you, no 4K-ROM cassette BASIC blockiness.
