This is a bit harsh.

The fact that something is subjective does not mean that it is useless.

IMHO, writing maintainable code requires a lot of experience, which one cannot expect from all junior developers. Requiring style guidelines for everything is a bit pedantic, and does not even make sense when you stride in to new territories. The latter is increasingly becoming the only part of software development where I would like to go.

If all code and requirements would be so objective and so simple, then I'm afraid you'll soon be replaced by an AI agent :)
