Did Uncle Bob rape everyone's grandma, because the amount of anger here for him and his work is insane. I'm guessing he wrote his books with the intention of helping others, and saw an opportunity to make a little coin at the same time. But you'd think he was software's Hitler the way people talk about him these days.

I was given Clean Code as a junior developer... didn't think it was mind blowing, but I used the parts that made sense and left the parts that didn't... what you're supposed to do anytime you're exposed to other peoples opinions. And I never felt a need to follow it blindly. If your code got inappropriately criticized by your leads or managers for not being Clean or SOLID enough, or they forced you into following Clean Code like it was the bible, then be mad at those guys!
