Part way through Tidy First and that's how it feels. Not seeing much value over Refactoring book.

The first two sections are fine, neither bad, neither outstanding.

The last section had the most valuable stuff in my opinion.

Overall it was such an odd 'book'. It was 50% empty, literally. The whole book could've been 3 long chapters honestly.

But it does contain some useful bits.
