Pressure to follow convention

Conventions can be useful … that’s if there is a tangible benefit and they have been observed to be useful. But there’s often a pressure associated with following conventions. A pressure to meet those conventions.

But sometimes conventions aren’t useful. And sometimes there are better ways to achieve the goal you have. And most of the time that’s the method you should use.

Check what benefits conventions provide. If they provide very little benefit then maybe they’re not useful anymore.
