> I'd take their recommendations about code style ... with a grain of salt though

IIRC, this book started me on the "meta-rules" of code style, the "what makes good rules", specifically

* aim for readability

* the role that "mere familiarity" plays in readability

* Team style over individual style, org over team, industry over org.

* the small amount (but not zero) of actual data i.e. studies here.
