The Clean Coder is a personal blog at thecleancoder.blogspot.com about programming and career. Since 2010, 8 different Hacker News readers have linked it 12 times, most often “Why Clojure? (2010)”. The last post was in 2011, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (6) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link this blog, Uncle Bob Martin's, mainly for its 'Why Clojure' post on choosing a programming language, and mention its posts on TDD and physics. None of the comments judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 6 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
A notebook for software craftsmen and engineers.

What Hacker News says?
It certainly seems like Microsoft is 'cheating', but it also seems like an excellent but warped example of Test Driven Development: they solved the failing test by the simplest and most direct means available. If time and budget hold out they will refactor later to generalize. How do the TDD proponents feel about Microsoft's approach? How is it different than the supposedly correct behaviour demonstrated here: http:…

HN discussionSame uncle bob that starts his presentations with physics stuff. See his comments on light and uncertainty principle, from a few days ago: http://thecleancoder.blogspot.com/2010/09/uncertainty-princi... He even twitted about this very post: http://twitter.com/unclebobmartin/status/25396579220 His twitter profile points to his object mentor page though. So the confusion is understandable.

HN discussionThak you both, it was SICP, I finally found the article http://thecleancoder.blogspot.com/2010/08/why-clojure.html And this is the paragraph that pop in my head today: On page 216 they introduce a concept so familiar that most programming books start with it. On page 216 they prove to you that you've had some wrong ideas about programming all along. On page two hundred and sixteen, after talking about algorithms, da…
