Clean Code Revisited in the Age of AI

For a generation of developers, Uncle Bob’s Clean Code wasn’t just a book—it was a manifesto. While "Effective [Add Language here]" books guide us in syntax, Clean Code taught us our coding standards. A set of rules so strict that many criticized it, such as the number of lines per method. But the game has changed. The hands on the keyboard are often no longer human, and the code our LLMs write is far from what traditional “Clean Code” is. AI favors verbosity over abstraction and completion over long-term maintainability; it even adds “evil” comments everywhere because that’s how its completion works. Are these rules still valid when refactorings happen in the blink of an eye? But humans will still review the code, won't they? Let’s revisit the rules!
