(Why do I need a coding convention?
Coding conventions are particularly important to programmers for several reasons:
● in the software life cycle, 80% of the cost is maintenance
● almost no software is maintained by original developers throughout its life cycle
● coding conventions can improve the readability of software and enable programmers to understand new code as quickly and thoroughly as possible
● if you release the source code as a product, you need to ensure that it is well packaged and error free, just like any other product you build)
