​​@@WoWUndadThat's not what coding standards mean... Not repeating code and modules are just part of reusability, which is just basic software development. Coding standards actually outline important guidelines to follow when writing code such as whether a variable should start with a capital letter or not and whether tab or 4 spaces should be used. There are no universal coding standards but there are agreed upon coding standards for all major languages and certain development environments or software. Unreal engine has its own set of coding standards which aren't binding and just a suggestion. Stuff like how a class name inheriting from a UObject should always starts with U, or E for a struct inheriting from UEnum, etc. You say you're a software engineer, I find that hard to believe that you would be one when you fail at understanding basic software terminology, especially such a term like coding standards that is extremely important to software development.

When I was in college I was in charge of a group project that had both men and women and I referred to the whole group as "guys", I said something like "ok everyone knows what to do, let's do this guys". One of the girls pulled me aside and talked to me, she said "hey I know this might sound weird but thanks for saying that, it made me feel like I was one of the guys", she genuinely felt great that I wasn't giving her special treatment. I will never stop using 'guys' to refer to a group of people I'm working with

To be clear, the Unreal Engine Coding Standard IS NOT a rulebook. It's just a very lengthy and detailed guide for best-practice coding conventions in the interest of organization and readability.
