Consistency vs. Efficiency in Code Style Guidelines
Code consistency is crucial in large teams like Google where a uniform coding style guideline is followed across different teams for readability and predictability. Some companies may enforce strict rules like having an 'else' block for every 'if' block, contrary to the preference of not using 'else' in most cases. While maintaining a uniform code style may not always be the most optimal, the benefit lies in the predictability and ease of reading. In smaller teams, enforcing a style guide can be more challenging but is considered a necessary cost in larger companies. The goal of having code written in a way that the author is not easily identifiable can help ensure consistency and readability, allowing for easier collaboration and troubleshooting.
