That's a problem with culture, not with the language. You can't say "you can get into accidents if you drive a car, so you're not allowed to drive"; you try to fix it by setting rules into place. At any rate, if you don't like bikeshedding, there's great, well appreciated standards in place for ruby which you can take up as-is: there's AirBnB, standard-rb/ prettier-rb and rubocop's default config. No bikeshedding involved, pick one and run with it

Which culture are you talking about? Company culture or programming culture?

My understanding was the general bikeshedding around formatting was the reason gofmt won for golang. That seems to hint the problem is a programming wide culture. Just in the same historical context programmers have had around tabs vs spaces...
