"We use Clean Code, TDD and Agile (Scrum)". Most new projects I see start with this assertion. It seems nearly impossible to escape these practices. But I have to ask myself. Why? Does 'Uncle Bobs' Clean Code actually work?
In this talk, I demonstrate you why I think Clean Code is a bad idea by applying Clean Code to a simple example. Following this, we will test if this new code holds up under changing requirements and compare it to an alternative approach.
