The author seems obsessed with what their code says about them personally, and only mentions other people to discuss other points of view on this question. At no point do they say anything about how working with other people influenced their thinking about programming or their technical preferences. In fact they only mention peers a single time: > I met many people whose programming approach was my polar opposite.... I don’t have any issues with their way, as long as we don’t work on the same system Being obsessed with what your code says about you is a concern that competes with and inevitably detracts from other desirable outcomes. This is true even when working by yourself, but it is especially true and especially obvious when working with other people.
