Clean Code Is Right... It’s Just Not ENOUGH

Описание: Clean Code has shaped how generations of developers think about code, readability, and professionalism. Popularised by Uncle Bob (Robert C. Martin), Clean Code principles helped software engineers write clearer, more maintainable code — and for that, the industry owes it a great deal.

But is clean code enough to build great software systems?

In this video on the Modern Software Engineering channel, we explore where Clean Code gets it right — and where it stops short. We look at how Clean Code focuses primarily on local code quality, while modern software engineering must also address systems thinking, changeability, feedback loops, deployment, and long-term evolution.

Drawing on ideas from computer science, software engineering, and the practical realities of modern software development, we discuss how Clean Code fits into a broader engineering discipline — and why practices advocated by Dave Farley and modern continuous delivery thinking extend beyond what Clean Code alone can offer.

This video isn’t an attack on Clean Code or Bob Martin. It’s a conversation about maturity: how we move from writing clean functions to designing software that can change safely, scale effectively, and survive real-world complexity.
