In reply to Balint Cristian. Hello Cristian, thanks for dropping by! I see the knowledge presented in Clean Code as technology-agnostic and timeless, while the technologies themselves are ephemeral. Even though it may seem dry and theoretical, at time, mastering the art will pay for the effort.

I started to read it but for some reasons I wasn’t captured by it. My opinion is that this book is probably too academic for the regular developers and honestly a little bit overrated.
Nevertheless I’m not saying that the book is not valuable, but from my side I’d rather learn a new technology.
Anyway Cristi keep up the good work!
