Great, if you want to hire people who "can code", but have no social skills. I am personally done working in environments where people think they "can code" but have not enough of a social skill to at least empathise with your point of view on naming conventions.

Don't get me wrong, I can code, I'll write you anything you want, AND IT WILL WORK! and I'll still know there may be a better way but this is the way that works and I still think I don't have enough years to live to argue with social incompetents who think that fighting over tabs or spaces is a good idea and a pocket protector makes you sexy.

We are not selecting for "no social skills". We're avoiding selecting for slickness.

More often, when talking about naming/indentation conventions, consistency is more important than who's right. The entire code base should look exactly the same (no exceptions).
