Goodbye, Clean Code (2020)
<i>"Firstly, I didn’t talk to the person who wrote it. I rewrote the code and checked it in without their input. Even if it was an improvement (which I don’t believe anymore), this is a terrible way to go about it."</i><p>While undeniably true, this feels completely orthogonal to the question of clean code. You could ruffle someone's feathers in the exact same way by taking code into the opposite direction.<p><i>"Goodbye, Clean Code [...] Don’t be a clean code zealot"</i><p>I agree with choosing pragmatism over purism. But the clickbaity title exercises a pattern I've seen hundreds of times, to which I have frankly become a bit allergic over the years: "X considered harmful! ...I mean, if you're overdoing X". Not being a healthy food zealot doesn't equal "goodbye, healthy food".
