It’s probably time to stop recommending Clean Code – that’s a relatively old post (from 2020) discussing a book that was published in 2008. It is a very common recommendation in the industry, and therefore, I think this post is so important. It is detailed and gives good examples, and reminds us that everything has to be taken with a grain of salt. I agree with the concluding paragraphs – experienced developers will gain almost nothing from reading the book, and inexperienced developers would have a hard time separating the wheat from the chaff.
