Which is my fundamental problem with peer review. There should be one gatekeeper to a code base that enforces some style preference. Practically which style they choose matters very little compared to having one predictable and enforced style to follow.

To clarify, I am talking about more than surface level style.

A small example adding an item to a list, it might be preference whether you use “push” or “append”

Don’t care which, but it is maddening to have a unit of code that mixes them.

There are all these choices that are numerous that should be consistent, but too numerous to add to a standards document ahead of time.
