So like, Clean Code really does say you should write four line functions, and does not put caveats on that statement, Uncle Bob even gives a lengthy terrible-looking example of a class written with 4-line functions and holds it up as the ideal. His views as expressed in that book are extreme and uncompromising, the “everything in moderation, there are many ways to write clean code” stuff is a rhetorical act he does when people call him out. Then when they’re gone and he thinks he can get away with it he starts speaking in absolute statements again.<p>Like, this is a conversation Uncle Bob had with Casey Muratori on GitHub, I came away feeling like Uncle Bob is more interested in playing rhetorical judo than anything else: <a href="https://github.com/unclebob/cmuratori-discussion/blob/main/cleancodeqa.md">https://github.com/unclebob/cmuratori-discussion/blob/main/c...</a>
