In the beginning of my career I was very much focused on consistency; all lines needed to be indented correctly and naming should be consistent. Today, I am working a bit more loosely with the rules of clean code; what matters now most to me is readability. Of course I try to follow the rules of clean code and try to do that in a consistent way, but it is more ok for me now to break the rules if that fosters readability.

After all, code is read more often than written...
