maybe the definition of 'clean code' in the agentic era should be changed to 'the code that complies to the specs, the design constraints and the exhaustive scenario test suite';

this is definitely a better outcome since all the human effort now shifts to spec, design, test scenarios tailored to the domain - as it should be.

having seen my share of human slop through decades (mine included), finally it's a relief to not have to deal with devs that don't have high standards, and the endless arguments/politics that ensue.

with llm it's just a text file away from compliance.

The author of clean code (who makes his living consulting on how to write software) has pivoted to AI in a spectacular tweet about how to set up automated software development just in time to make his living consulting about how to set up automated software development.

This is the guy that thinks optionals are too complicated? https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2017/01/11/TheDarkPath...

Interesting read. To his defense: the argument is not that Optionals are too complicated, but that it’s a wrong path for language design — instead programmers have to test their code properly.

I like optionals, but I see his point too.
