100% agree. Do you happen know of an alternative to (or criticism of) Clean Coder I could point coworkers toward instead? Since I haven’t read it myself, it’s hard for me to guide people away without opening up that can of distracting (but legitimate) worms.

I did find in my archive some solid criticism of Clean Architecture from
@qntm, but that's about it: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40qntm%20clean%20architecture&src=typed_query … Most of the takedowns are about his assholery, which while justified, isn't quite what I need for work discussions.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

No problem. I've been thinking of writing that article for about a year but I needed the reminder

Way off topic, but you're the guy who did "Stickman stickman", right? Probably weird dredging up something you wrote 16+ years ago, but I read it as a tween and still have "illegal skates" in my personal slang ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Correct, and it's always weird to me how many people remember it!
