I think, this is simply not possible nowadays in any professional environment, involving multiple players.

There are way too many frameworks within which you have to find your way relatively quickly and nevertheless often only for a short time. Many with idiosyncrasies, sub-par design, the wrong smell or simply not satisfying the own taste one way or another.

With C++ almost my first language, I was using Qt for many years. It was almost the only framework fitting expectations more or less intuitively the whole time (at this moment, PyTorch fits a similar spot). This specific example hasn't to be true for everyone, of course. But there are always things on the other hand of the spectrum, for which I immediately forget syntactical peculiarities again and again. There seems some inner resistance, accelerating this for some software artefacts. I have seen this this seemingly feeble aesthetic point with many - often very good - programmers, maintaining a strong inner image of the software they are responsible for.
