Programming looks like a brush in the painting. Patterns, designs could be changed one developer to another. In my opinion some conventions could be same in programming for each developer. When you look at the source code, the source code seems to be any poem of the E.E. Cummings, It is not a creative thinking; It could be reflection of the selfishness :)
