I disagree. We might understand what I meant by "style"[1] differently. As I think of it, it's comprised of things that have an actual, measurable impact on the effort required to develop the codebase(s) over time. It's not about tabs vs. spaces, snake_case vs. camelCase, or anything even remotely like that. I'm not trying to establish a company-wide set of guidelines for the sake of it - I believe that relatively minor things (in the scope of a single project) can lead to significant savings at the scale of tens of projects and five years of a maintenance window.
As for the guidelines themselves: I don't care what they are, exactly, as long as a) they're there; b) they reduce said effort; and c) they're followed.
