Uncle Bob on automating programming (2020)

[kristianp]

I don't have the inclination to watch the video right now and google doesn't have any information. Is this talking about things like build and testing automation, CI?

Please be aware that Bob Martin has a history of misogynistic and racist views.

He's a 75 year old US programmer .. I have no idea whether he has an extra layer of misogynism over and above being born in 1950s America but he did seem to overcome that enough to give a shout out to Barbara Liskov and Jeannette Wing for the Liskov substitution principle .. the 'L' in SOLID.

Many programmers regard his "Clean Code" advice and book overrated. Some advice is logical, other is non-sensical (reduce all functions to at most 4 lines or something similar, TDD, etc...)
