Why Developers Hate "Clean Code"?

Summary

The main theme is the declining relevance of "clean code" principles, popularized by Uncle Bob's books, in modern software development, especially with the rise of languages like Kotlin and practices like functional programming. The speaker reflects on their personal journey with clean code and TDD, noting that while these principles have merit, a shift towards more pragmatic and flexible coding styles, incorporating functional elements and less strict OOP, is becoming more prevalent. The practical takeaway is that while clean code concepts were once dominant, developers today are increasingly adopting a hybrid approach, prioritizing effective solutions over rigid adherence to older paradigms.
