Do developers still read clean code books?
Original: Ask HN: Do you still read clean code and software architecture books?
A question on Hacker News asks whether programmers still read classic software books like Clean Code and works on software architecture. The discussion invites developers to share whether these well-known texts remain part of their practice, or whether modern tooling, AI assistance and changing industry habits have made them obsolete. Commenters are debating the lasting value of foundational programming literature versus newer ways of learning.
Why now: Developers are debating whether classic programming books are still relevant as AI tools and modern practices change how people learn to code.
