I really didn't enjoy the clean coder. There was a strong feeling of "Management is trying to screw you over, this is how to protect yourself from them". If your really working in that environment, you should probably just leave rather than having to resort to tricks and techniques to manage management. There seemed to be some other silly advice (I.E. I used to listen to music and code until 4AM and then not remember what I wrote. Clearly the music was to blame.)

I'm sure that Rob is a great employee, and the book does have a few good points, but I'm not sure I took away a whole lot from it.

interesting, reading your comment, I would never guess that we are speaking about the same book. I found it to be more of a guidebook to precise communication with colleagues and management.
