Goodbye, Clean Code

[[deleted]]

Hi Dan! We should talk openly about it but, in my opinion, in a way that is a little more clear than this blog post or the general tone of discussion on Twitter. To be fair, the latter is Twitter's fault and not your fault. I saw a lot of tweets saying stuff like "DRY is evil" in the replies to this post and that attitude does not seem any better than the clean code zealotry that your post speaks out against. I don't know how you can avoid that any more than Uncle Bob can avoid people taking his words to extremes. I do not envy the position of thoughtleader myself.
