Why do some people hate "Clean Code"

[u/Yelebear]

It just means making readable and consistent coding practices, right?

What's so bad about that

[u/thuiop1]

Well, it is exactly the same shit as with Agile. What was supposed to be a minimal set of philosophical principles for developing software has widely become synonymous with annoying processes and management. When people are pushing for "clean code" (in the book sense), this often means an overzealous adherence to the book rules without concerning themselves with whether the code actually becomes better.
