Popular Programming Book "Clean Code" is being rewritten

But is it rewritten in Rust?

I should get to work on my opus, "Dirty Code"

Inside I'll reveal all my secrets like: not writing tests, not documenting anything, putting the whole app into a single python file, object-disoriented relational mapping, obscure SQL tricks, unobscure no-sql tricks, and more!

I'm of the opinion that Uncle Bob did some massive damage to software development as a whole with that book.
With that said, this is genuinely funny.

New edition is just an incoherent rant about the “woke mind virus” trying to destroy him for “just saying what everyone is thinking”.

I'm a programmer since the 80s, who is this guy?

I was a big Uncle Bob fan and still really like the Clean Code book. But he trashed his public reputation so I doubt this 2nd edition will do very well.

oh no somebody stop please him

Working in Ruby did 10x more to help me write clean code than reading Clean Code ever did.

Many of the lessons drilled into me with Ruby (keep a consistent style, tests are cheap, keep your methods relatively small where possible, reduce nesting where possible) carry over nicely into other languages without needing to go through any OO bullshit.

IMO, the best lesson around Clean Code is this: you're not clever, write obvious code that works with as few tricks as possible.

i am genuinely waiting for it. read the first one almost 10 years ago and it gave me a good start into my programming journey.

even if this second version won't bring in anything new for me, I will be glad to consume it

Cleaner Code.

The bit of Clean Code that I read was unimpressive, but Clean Architecture was amazing. I view that book as required reading for anyone who wants to write code professionally. If Uncle Bob hasn't realized that his coding style is worse than alternatives, I do not see how a second version of the same bad ideas is going to do well.

Glad I didn't read it.

There are no inherent "rules" in software development. These books are useless and a waste of time. They offer nothing but CS Dogma and are actually against freedom of expression.

Is this a cute joke or is he being serious and oblivious?

Those of you who red and liked clean code (I did too), what's your next best recommendation as a book? The pragmatic programmer?

Thanks for the warning

Isn't that the guy who caused the whole Factorio Kovarex controversy?

He must have been waiting for me to buy a copy.

Now . After they're done , they should write one for perl and brainf**k

Truly one of the latter day saints

i guess this time the book involves a foreword in every chapter written by a woman that explains why they shouldn't be allowed behind a computer
