Re:“Clean” Code, Horrible Performance by DeathArrow on Wednesday March 01, 2023 @03:34AM (#34980067)
I am a developer who worked on embedded, desktop apps, mobile apps, games and now on large microservice based application. A developer is a developer and can move from one kind of application to another.

I find what Casey says in his videos to be true. And I though about that stuff before I even watched his videos, which are excellent.

However, I started not to care. I don't want to start fights inside the company, especially fighting alone against many OOP cultists. There's not my money at stake, so if companies as a whole decide for OOP, clean code, SOLID, design patterns, abstractions on top of abstractions, making the code bases giant pile of junks while degrading performance, I am not going to go against the crowd.

Code that I write for myself is quite different than code I write for my employers.

I just hope that the industry as a whole will wake up from the whole OOP nightmare.

I agree with that 100%. OOP is a giant mess, no matter where your stance on code clarity or performance stands. It's objectively worse in both regards.
