The longer it inflates the more painful the pop. Better to get it over with even though it will be painful. Not continuing to build data centers powered by fossil fuel would be a big benefit too.

He's not writing anything professionally anyway. His whole job is to tell other people how to work (badly)

I could maybe give him some leeway if the examples in the book itself showed responsible code, but they simply do not

had a good idea and wrote a good book

I read the book after asking some junior engineers why they kept insisting on breaking straightforward tasks that could be a single pure function into a web of stateful method calls and learned they were being recommended it by another senior dev.

That book is one of the major contributors to the object oriented enterprise Java from the 90s that everyone universally loathes.

I personally think this discussion is probably the greatest thing he had contributed to software engineering, and not because it puts him in a positive light. https://github.com/johnousterhout/aposd-vs-clean-code/blob/main/README.md

When I went to look up the term "magpie developer" I saw this and had a chuckle https://magpie-lang.com/

The funny thing is that it wasn't even a good book.

this man holds no significant position of prominence within the industry.

I wish that was true but I've had to specifically countermand his teachings at 2 different companies because newbies were being told to read his book

The code had the single responsibility to waste your time

Uncle Bob has always been a hack whose advice made code less maintainable.

Who is we? There is a reason the other stuff gets called "renewable energy" and oil doesn't.
