100% agree with this. I was religiously following clean code but never really saw benefits. Nowadays I start by making code work and only abstract/refactor if it feels right. And I don't know how to articulate "feels right" but what I can say is a lot of times, the resulting refactor is the opposite of what uncle bob recommends.
