No, focusing on code style is weird. It’s tablestakes it should be uniform in style and legible. Automate styling to vanilla defaults. Leave it.

It’s like obsessing over the font on the packaging of the marker you use to write to the whiteboard in a math seminar.

Now, weird is beautiful but it’s not usefull and mostly irritating in a professinal context.

Cherish your weirdness and celebrate when you can find people of same persuasion. But don’t bother your colleagues with it.

I’m saying this as a person with very deep weird personal interests as several here do - and I’ve learned this slowly and painfully.
