Edit: (addition) I mean I hate camelCase as an enforced standard. I use it when it feels useful. I use underscores as well when I think they are fit. I just don't like being one standard pretending to be absolute truth for a company. If the company is a startup, it's even more important that we get to release as fast as possible, instead of fretting over if the code looks like poetry or not. The odds are, the bit of code will be obsolete as a feature in two months.

I would have thought that the feedback (so far) on your post would have shown you that the HN mood is that code conventions are not about "pretty" but are a fundamental standard for professional programming.

As an aside: code expected to be replaced "in two months" has a horrible habit of still being around in 10 years.

Sure, if it lasts 10 years, it's good code :-)
