Clean Code wasn't trying to solve performance issues. It tries to solve issue with expensive code maintenance.

"occurs when someone misrepresents, exaggerates, or fabricates an opponent's argument to make it easier to attack."

You literally imagine something that isn't in this text and start theroritizing based on this.

Re:The Three Year Myth on Sunday February 15, 2026 @05:59AM (#47022778)
It's called "strawman fallacy", you replacing the thesis and add things that wasn't there to draw plausible conclusions instead of trying to get more information if there's not enough. Calling it "hypothesis" isn't charging anything.

clinical psychologist's like to invent imaginary scenarios and add something that is not in text, aren't they?
Re:The Three Year Myth on Saturday February 14, 2026 @03:55PM (#47018300)
This is exactly my experience (and I've been doing this fo 20 years now). Saw it on every job I had. The usual bs is "we are developing new performance and grows framework" "promotions will happen on next cycle" "we are reorganizing now" "we want to add more transparency" etc. But somehow they always know who to call when shit hit th fan. Don't fall for it. Look for another job once you see this. Looking for new job nowadays take a while and it's better to be employed during this process.

Re:Measuring software engineering competency on Monday April 10, 2017 @09:27AM (#14078298)
You can generalize it, but that was a point to make the list more specific. And yes, world is a very different place today. The number of SW engineers doubles every year, so, at least half for them are new. We are engineers and we should try to measure or competency, аnd should try to systematize the things that we use. Of course, this list is not something absolutely universal, but we should at least try think about standards we that we want to meet.
Re:Measuring software engineering competency on Monday April 10, 2017 @09:13AM (#14078195)
Teams, of course. The goal was to measure it, and we tried to be more specific.
Re:Measuring software engineering competency on Monday April 10, 2017 @09:08AM (#14078161)
It is relevant, but we try to make it more specific.
