most people who get big hard ons about design patterns and “best practices” are huge navel gazers and the guy who bangs out poo poo that works in PHP or some other lesser language with bad designs is way better to have on your team

Martin Fowler has corrupted an entire generation of programmers into not understanding what their job is!!!


designing the api: 1 30 minute meeting

designing the internals: 3 weeks of daily bikeshedding

same but it’s more the nerds fault than Fowler’s

I was thinking about clean code cultists today after listening to someone talk about a trend among “aspiring writers” to spend all their time reading and collecting books and aphorisms about how to write and never really writing

just like clean code nerds spend all their time reformatting and refactoring according to a trend

and it’s all probably for the same reason: it’s comfortable to bikeshed, and often the code devotees work some tedious job writing business software for a widget maker or something and it’s their only way to find value in their bullshit job
