When people are forcing their ways of programming on others becomes a problem it's because of a lack of clear guidelines for the project. Code shouldn't be lit

When people are forcing their ways of programming on others becomes a problem it's because of a lack of clear guidelines for the project.
Code shouldn't be littered with half a dozen ways to do the same thing. It reduces maintainability and readability.
Use a consensus or a person in charge to pick a way to do something that can be done many ways, and then always do it that way, and yes force people to program that way for the sake of the project.
Some people, sometimes very skilled and extremely intelligent people, are just entirely process adverse, seeing it as needless as long as everything works. Yes working code is important, but being part of a team, and working with the team is pretty important. Maybe you don't need the process, maybe you can read code like Mozart writes music but others can't. But maybe think of your team sometimes who have to follow in your footsteps.
