| Apr 22 at 17:03 | comment | added | Michael Kay | The mark of a good software engineer (as with a good novelist or composer) is knowing when to break the rules. Following the rules will turn you from a novice developer into an adequate developer; breaking them judiciously will turn you from an adequate developer into a great one. | |
| Apr 22 at 12:57 | comment | added | Stormcloud | One of my bigger issues with "Clean Code" is that Bob Martin provides no reasons why he thinks people should follow his advice. As far as I can tell he's just documenting his personal preferences and assuming they work for everybody. (Contrast that with something like Josh Bloch's "Effective Java" and the difference is marked). I found Bobs advice can be put into 3 roughly equal categories; obviously good ideas, obviously bad ideas and stuff I'm not sure about. Given the lack of reasons and the amount of bad advice I wouldn't take him on his word for the stuff I'm not sure about | |

| Apr 22 at 1:39 | comment | added | Mason Wheeler | More gibberish from the man who emphatically promised everyone that following TDD rigorously magically implies "all your code works." It's not that Uncle Bob's "tone" is bad, it's that his ideas, all too often, are simply nonsense. Inexperienced developers who lack the experience to know what to take with a grain of salt are best off avoiding Robert Martin's work altogether. | |
