MODERATORS
One thing to know about Clean Code is that the author is a hard right MAGA dickhead now, so if that is important to you then seek a more modern source of advice. A lot of the things he advocates for about code obviously aren't dripping in right wing rhetoric, but if you look at his socials you might feel quite turned off.
Worth saying the comment I'm replying to is not wrong IMHO
The finer details of the coding advice in Clean Code is also insane. There's a good summary of it but I forgor where
Possibly you're thinking about https://qntm.org/clean
Yes thank you!
the advice still checks out though imho. dont treat it as dogma, but as useful guidelines.
maybe dont buy the book though
I have been happy to recommend Sandi Metz books instead.
99 Bottles of OOP and POODR are excellent books and include many of the same ideas.
