Bob Martin has built a career on asking the wrong questions. He is doing the same here as well.

I think Uncle Bob worship by OOP adherents is crazy, but I also think dismissing him this way is also crazy. His work on popularizing methods for writing good OOP is solid.

But at the end of the day, he's a guy with a long career in programming, which makes him significantly better than the median, but it doesn't make him three sigma above.

In this case, he's got a pretty good short- to medium-term argument that if you have a robust testing and verification suite, AI code that passes it all is a terrific outcome.

I'm really not convinced about long-term. Possibly, AI ends up writing even better in the future and we never have to worry about human maintainability.

But it's also possible AI is at/near its limit, and we'll always need human maintainers. In which case, incomprehensible vibe coding might be a problem.
