You don't work in a team, do you?  In a team, you are programming for
people and the team /should/ program you.  Even if you hate the
prevailing style, you won't do well using, say, single letter names for
everything (I once worked in the same lab as, but fortunately not the
same team as, someone who did that).

When you post code asking for advice, your own private obsessions start
to rub up against public expectations.  Not quite like being in a team,
but you could choose to smooth your path though the world by picking
which obsessions you insist on presenting in public.

[Aside.  Some languages have a word or two that one just can't do
without.  I would, if I could, I'd use the Spanish "manía" rather than
obsession.  It's milder.]
