I disagree. Good code is code that is indistinguishable in style and convention from all adjacent code. I always advise juniors two things: 1) your code will be written once but read a thousand times 2) if you want to make your mark with style and convention start an OSS project of your own, otherwise make your mark through the simplicity and elegance of your logic, not the way your code contrasts from the code base.
