    The “Clean Architecture” is really just PTSD and masochism in a preacher’s overalls. Which I guess you’d expect from its author.

    Remember when it was an absurd, laughable cliché for astronauts to return to earth and while they were gone it’s been nuked into oblivion? Rather than being possible, even slightly?

But it doesn’t come without side effects. As the old saying goes: there ain’t no such thing as a free pump
