Flutterby™! : Clean Code

Having just had this book mentioned to me, but someone whose code I've worked with a lot but whose code I also don't always find super readable, this feels worth reading: It's probably time to stop recommending Clean Code

It may not be possible for us to ever reach empirical definitions of "good code" or "clean code", which means that any one person's opinions about another person's opinions about "clean code" are necessarily highly subjective. I cannot review Robert C. Martin's 2008 book Clean Code from your perspective, only mine.

That said, the major problem I have with Clean Code is that a lot of the example code in the book is just dreadful.
