Working in Ruby did 10x more to help me write clean code than reading Clean Code ever did.

Many of the lessons drilled into me with Ruby (keep a consistent style, tests are cheap, keep your methods relatively small where possible, reduce nesting where possible) carry over nicely into other languages without needing to go through any OO bullshit.

IMO, the best lesson around Clean Code is this: you’re not clever, write obvious code that works with as few tricks as possible.

I find this to be true for every new language I try out. Since every language has a different way of doing things and gives me a new perspective, in the long run they all end up improving my programming style as a whole. I always end up integrating the best parts of each into my next project when possible.

Experience will always be more valuable than any set of rules these kind of books tout as “the way things are meant to be done”.

Isn’t that the guy who caused the whole Factorio Kovarex controversy?

Had to dig around a little, but I think I got some context :

I don’t recall Uncle Bob being sexist or racist, but maybe I missed something.

During the George Floyd Protests, Robert gives us a beautiful take that police stopping black people isn’t racist, it’s just math.

Don’t ask his opinions about the term “statutory rape”!

The bit of Clean Code that I read was unimpressive, but Clean Architecture was amazing. I view that book as required reading for anyone who wants to write code professionally. If Uncle Bob hasn’t realized that his coding style is worse than alternatives, I do not see how a second version of the same bad ideas is going to do well.
