Comment on Real quick question about the "break"
arisunz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months agoI wish people stopped praising a book that has been repeatedly debunked as dogmatic, outdated, nonsensical garbage.
No, do not bother with Clean Code. Been there thinking it was some bastion of truth that just went over my head. It’s not. Fuck uncle bob.

I don’t know your or his source, but warning me before I read it deserves a thank, so thanks for saving me time.

It’s a highly opinionated book but it is full of good advice that in my opinion goes too far. Using a metaphor here, I think he wanted to get people to the moon but knew that he needed to give guidance to get to mars because people would look at whatever he wrote and think it’s too much.
The book has several chapters discussing the SOLID design principles and showing how to apply them. You’ll be a better programmer for reading it. “Uncle Bob” the person can be a bit problematic so I don’t particularly like telling people to give him money. Try getting the book from the library or a second hand store. There are also videos out there of him speaking at conferences that may give a good taste of the material. He has a blog too.

Saved me even more time! I won’t be reading that. I don’t know java at all, and the review says that the advice is dated, bad or both. Thanks
