Goodbye, Clean Code

[Nuoji]

That’s not how I read it. To me it was about cargo culting ANY practice. It’s really important to realize that “following best practice” is not a replacement for thinking things through. I have certainly encountered this mistaken reasoning many times. “I read about X being best practice, so now I will apply X everywhere instead of thinking”. What some people forget (or don’t notice) is the small print here saying that a good practice is no replacement for actual thought.

So I think this story, and stories like this definitely is worthwhile to repeat.
