> For example, lets say I gave a simple coding puzzle (think leetcode) to 10 python engineers. I would get at least 8 different responses. A few might gravitate around similar concepts but they would be significantly different.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think that's as true as you mean. I think that most experienced Python developers tend to gravitate towards the same style of solutions for things like coding puzzles (including the classic "read in data, map it through a comprehension, write out data" pattern).

There are multiple ways of expressing the same thing, but very often in a specific context one of the ways tends to be overwhelmingly a better fit than the other.
