Re:Forget about Clean Code, Let’s Embrace Compassionate Code by LandR on Sunday June 24, 2018 @06:08PM (#17388642)
This seems a like pointless nonsense piece.

What exactly am I supposed to take away from this?

>> Many who know me consider me an exceptionally skilled programmer.

Ugh, I don't get how someone can write that about themselves without curling up from the cringe.

Is his point that he disagrees with Uncle Bob (god I hate that nickname) about some political issue so we should stop trying to write clean, maintainable, testable code?

How are these two things even related. Or was the point of the blog just virtue signalling about immigration, loosely and nonsenically tied to coding?

That entire blog post seems to be something that doesn't need to exist.

One useful takeaway:

> When Clean Code becomes a source of less boring work, I’m for it. When it becomes a source of frustration and guilt, I’m against it.
