> Authors would solve a problem in a way that ignored existing patterns

if you’re not writing your code why do you expect people to read it and follow your lead for whatever your preference is for a convention.

I get people who hand write being fussy about this but you start the article off devaluing coding entirely then pivot to how your codebase is written having value that needs to be followed.

It’s either low value or it isn’t but you can’t approach it as worthless then complain when others view your code as worthless and not worth reading too
