Casey Muratori critiques conventional software design principles like SOLID and Clean Code, arguing they lead to slow and over-engineered software.

kickstarter.com/projects/annarettberg/meow-the-infinite-book… Q&A: youtu.be/cOcaj_cRBvE Rebroadcast of an invited live lecture I gave to infura.io on twitch.tv/molly_rocket. The original had bad audio for the first few minutes, so I re-recorded and spliced it in for this corrected version. Otherwise, it is the same as the original live stream.

What people say. Recommended as an excellent critique of SOLID and Clean Code principles and their negative impact on software performance.

On “There’s No Such Thing as Clean Code”

There's a good take on this by Casey Muratori - link to this video And I agree with him. Things like SOLID and "Clean Code" really are just buzzwords nowadays that don't mean anything.

On “My 2021 Review”

> Additionally I think SOLID principles should be part of every (software) engineer’s skills repertoire. No. I don't agree with Casey Muratori on a lot of things, but he hits the nail on the head about that statement in this video (around 23:00, but I'd suggest you watch the whole thing for context) - link to this video I've walked out of interviews (politely) because I was asked to recite some buzzword bullshit like SOLID.

On “DRY is an over-rated programming principle?”

I think they used that term on purpose. Non-pessimized in this case is the same as optimized, and I believe it's a reference to this video link to this video
