Consistent code base makes it easier

to read

to onboard new people

to review

if you have e.g 3 different ways to handle error handling then it is a mess. one time you expect exceptions, other time monads, other time int values.



It also makes it faster to write code. If the code base has a strong culture around doing X, then whenever you do X, you don’t have to spend time thinking about the best way to do it.
