It's probably time to stop recommending Clean Code @ Things Of Interest (qntm.org)

Seeing that Uncle Bob is making a new version of Clean Code I decided to try and find this article about the original.

I heavily disagree it’s easier to write good code if you follow clean code. Especially if you follow his examples throughout the book. Most of his examples are just over engineered messes held together by side effects (even if he says side effects is a bad thing).

If he can’t write good code by following clean code, why should you? He even picked the examples himself and failed!
