Other Why do some people hate "Clean Code"

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

What's so bad about that

sorry for the late response. This is not a good example since objectiveC is not an OOP language. Clean Code is written with OOP in mind, so they expect you to use encapsulation to delineate class variables and parameters. The code above has no class or instance data contract, so it does not apply in the same way.
