How easily did everyone agree to the coding standard purposed?

We did it by making it really, really small. No style guidelines. Two space, four spaces, braces in line, braces not in line? Don't care. It doesn't matter. If you're working on some code and you genuinely can't understand it because the layout is a mess, dump it through an auto-layout tool or the like. Honestly, so long as it's readable, arguing over two spaces for an indent or whether the if block first brace should be on the next line or not isn't worth the hassle.

We started with a handful of outright forbidden functions, and some rules on memory management. As time goes on, and various mistakes get made repeatedly, protections against them get added to the standard.

A small standard is better than no standard. A small standard is also better than a big standard.
