In today's video we'll debunk 7 smart ideas that waste your time as a programmer. For each myth, we'll look at why it's a trap, how it lures you in and most importantly how to avoid mistakes I've made in the past.

Sounds good but I don't want to waste time watching a video when I could just look at 7 lines of text within a couple of seconds

You need to use the latest tech to stay relevant
Aim for maximum theoretical purity or pattern adherence
You must adhere to Uncle Bob's clean code rules at all times
100% code coverage is something that matters
You should always optimize for performance
You should always optimize for web scale
AI is about to replace all programmers

Uncle Bob's rules are bulletproof

I only really hear 3 (or at least, hear people imply it) in reality, and maybe a small nod to 7 recently. For 4, I see people think arbitrary numbers like 90% or 80% code coverage are things that matter.

Grog brain is better - https://grugbrain.dev/

And it's crap like this that gives junior programmers justification to output god-awful code because they don't want to better themselves.

I don't disagree with you, but Fireship's videos are short and to the point.
