Agreed on Clean Code. I remember nothing practical from that book. Its principal value is that it looks nice on my shelf.

Watching Bob Martin's talks, he just likes ranting about computers and doesn't give actionable advice. However, he was one of the first "tech" authors I was exposed to, so I guess the the book itself is good for marketing. Maybe it's accessible enough for beginners. But now the book is certainly worthless as a reference or refresher to me.
