What does the NT stand for?
Officially(?): New Technology
Unofficially: No Tabs
Since the devs were all using different text editors, tabs in the source code were not interpreted identically. What would look like cleanly aligned code to one programmer might look like an exploded spaghetti bomb to another.
Therefore, tabs were forbidden in source code, hence the name, “No Tabs.”
