Hot Garbage: Clean Code is Dead
summary
Argues that clean code is dead and sells a concrete alternative called hot garbage architecture with four tenets: pliable components, composability, reasonableness and disposability. Demonstrates with a Play-Doh demo, Lego and React examples (calls out lint plugin react and component-vs-configuration tradeoffs), shows churn-versus-complexity as a decision tool, and reports applying these ideas for about a year, yielding fewer bike-shedding PRs, higher team productivity and code that is easier to remove or swap.
