Except we don't all do boxing and we aren't all Muhammad Ali. But some of us may be masters of our craft nonetheless.

These 'guidelines' would mean very little to someone who programs microcontroller chips - Not saying these guidelines aren't useful, but in some environments there are more important aspects like will my program fit in flash memory? Do I have time to refactor this code or should I just patch it quickly and work on something more urgent/important?

I program embedded systems, which is pretty close. I still thought that the guidelines were spot on.
