The concept of 'Clean Code' in software development, emphasizing readability, reusability, testability, and maintainability, is being questioned for potentially hindering progress.
Developers, particularly juniors and some seniors, often delay shipping code in pursuit of perfection, leading to missed deadlines and hindrance in experimentation.
The natural problem-solving process involves messiness and iterations, but the pressure for pristine code can stifle creativity and innovation.
While maintaining coding principles is important, overly focusing on perfection from the start can impede creativity, hinder delivery, and intimidate developers.
