Do you think a software company should impose developers a coding-style? [closed]

Answer 1

You want everybody reading and writing code in a standard way. There are two ways you can achieve this:

1. Clone a single developer several times and make sure they all go through the same training. Hopefully they should all be able to write the same codebase.
2. Give your existing developers explicit instruction on what you require. Tabs or spaces for indentation. Where braces sit. How to comment. Version-control commit guidelines.

The more you leave undefined, the higher the probability one of the developers will clash on style.
