Hard To Swallow Programming Pills

Buying "Clean Code" and expecting to magically transform into a coding genius is like buying a gym membership and expecting abs without ever breaking a sweat. The book sits proudly on your shelf while your actual code still looks like it was written by a caffeinated squirrel with a keyboard.

Sure, Uncle Bob's wisdom is legendary, but implementing those principles? That's the real pill to swallow. Meanwhile, your codebase is still a magnificent dumpster fire that no amount of theoretical knowledge can extinguish without actual practice.
