This seems pretty uncontroversial in the Java space.

I think most Java developers will wince at clean code. Clean Code made sense in contrast to the pervading gang-of-four norms that preceded it, but I don't think many people would recommend the style today.



In my experience, there's a non-trivial number of "Java developers" stuck in the Clean Code or Design Pattern All The Things modes of development. They want every project to look like a J2EE demo.

Those types of Java devs can use a lot of interesting sounding terminology but they overengineer everything and commit ludicrous amounts of code that doesn't tackle the problems at hand.
