I’m not gonna defend Uncle Bob, but I’d advise against attacking his technical mettle, personally.

It’s less his technical ability that I question, it’s his advice for designing maintainable code bases. How can someone who has not worked on large code bases or large teams have the experience of trail and error know how well his methods work in practice. It’s like if a person wrote a book on commanding an aircraft carrier yet has no experience in the navy.

Once you’ve written as much code as he has, check back.
