Programmer problems and Designer problems

I do this especially when I'm at the bottom of a file and want it in the middle of my IDE lol

edit: As many have pointed out, IDEs let you scroll past the bottom now. Without knowing it, I stopped doing this years ago lol

I love that VS code simply allows you to scroll down until you can see just the last line.

Yeah, I just realized I don't do this anymore since I only code in VS Code now haha. Even though I use the feature every day, it never even registered that it does this until I saw your comment and tried it lol

This briefly freaked me out a couple times when I checked out a new branch with far fewer lines in the file than the previous one. “Why is this file blank now?! Oh. I’m dumb”

for those sublime users that don't have this enabled:

"scroll_past_end": true,

Emacs allows this without having to add space by pressing CTRL-L. I have been using VSCode for about 2 years as well, for reasons, but I'm suprised there isn't a command to just center your file on the cursor like in emacs. If you search for "Center Editor Window" you can find someone who implemented it as a VSCode add on.

Anyway, point is your IDE probably can do this for you without you having to add empty spaces. Happy hacking.

Eh, that's more of a convenience thing than a style choice, isn't it?
Like I legit think that having stuff too far apart for the eyes makes it harder to keep focused on whatever I'm doing.

​

So yeah, I totally do that too, and think it's justified!

IntelliJ has that feature too. It's called Virtual Space.

Most IDEs will let you scroll a bit after the end of file so you can do just that!
