I will often follow the codebase's way of doing things, even if I know a better way. I'll only push for the better way if I, or someone else, is willing to refactor the whole codebase. Last thing I want is to work on a codebase with N different ways to solve the same problem. That decreases productivity too much.

That makes sense. The problem is that it can be quite hard on large codebases to find such instances if they aren't routed through some library to avoid code duplication.
