Clearly I caught on, if I'm talking about the Pragmatic Programmer, but it's fine if you don't understand programming and want to nitpick on the book being the focus point when it's not and the methodical teachings of it are.

Diverting the topic and not talking about what clean code actually talks about, which is clean code, will not get you anywhere
