i would say cleancode is a counter example as most devs that read and like it just go through a phase of being unbearable and confused before figuring out their error and giving up. my absolute mind changer book was joe Armstrong's programming for a concurrent world, even without wanting to go into beam development this will change the perspective of devs in a profound and fruitful way.
- halkony 3y agoAgreed on Clean Code. I remember nothing practical from that book. Its principal value is that it looks nice on my shelf. Watching Bob Martin's talks, he just likes ranting about computers and doesn't give actionable advice. However, he was one of the first "tech" authors I was exposed to, so I guess the the book itself is good for marketing. Maybe it's accessible enough for beginners. But now the book is certainly worthless as a reference or refresher to me.
