If refactoring scares you, fuck off out my team.

If you keep code in the codebase simply because it took you ages to write it, fuck off out of my team.

Some people must be wishing pain and suffering upon themselves and their colleagues.

    @lbfalvy Uncle Bob... good ol' uncle Bob - bit of a Trump supporter, bit of an extremist when it comes to "clean code"..

    Entertaining to listen to though, but that one time he said every good developer should write a bubble sort program every month I started filtering out some of his ideas. When I read his infamouse book I got to a point where I said "are you for real...".

    This is going to piss a lot of devs off that consider that book a bible.

    @devdiddydog I don't think he's a saint, but he shares some really good ideas and this is one of them.

    @devdiddydog Those who take every idea in Clean Code as a law deserve to be pissed off. No publication of this magnitude is universally correct, especially not one that's this opinionated and relies this heavily on the experiences of a handful of people.

    @lbfalvy Yep, he does have some great ideas and quotes - I will give him that!
