Well if this is the case then they certainly didn't get it from the Clean Code book itself. The books very explicitly makes the point that there's no one right way and that the guidelines in the book won't apply to every situation.
- Jtsummers 5y agoThat's in the first chapter. I'll quote it here because it seems many of the objectors to the book haven't read it or haven't read this part: > Consider this book a description of the Object Mentor School of Clean Code. The techniques and teachings within are the way that we practice our art. We are willing to claim that if you follow these teachings, you will enjoy the benefits that we have enjoyed, and you will learn to write code that is clean and professional. But don't make the mistake of thinking that we are somehow "right" in any absolute sense. There are other schools and other masters that have just as much claim to professionalism as we. It would behoove you to learn from them as well. [emphasis in original]
