I was a big Uncle Bob fan and still really like the Clean Code book. But he trashed his public reputation so I doubt this 2nd edition will do very well.

Is there a TL;DR if I don't know who this is?

Here's the Wikipedia page

Basically he is an old man/ software engineer who's famous for his philosophy of coding.

Any context on him "trashing his reputation"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

He made some political remarks on Twitter that many people didn't like.

I am also a big fan of his books, especially Clean Code. His (far-)right opinions are bad, but should be (to some extent) viewed separately from his technical standpoints. However, even then a new edition would not perform well, there are too many people hating Clean Code (without really understanding its message/just ranting without having read it). But I was very surprised that ThePrimeagen recently interviewed his "opponent", it was very nice to watch.
