A brief conversation about the Clean Architecture approach and why some teams struggle with it.

Ardalis' platform is a central hub for software developers, offering insights into software architecture, design patterns, and clean coding principles. Through articles, tutorials, and podcasts, Ardalis offers insights into building maintainable and scalable software applications. Developers can learn about SOLID principles, domain-driven design, and refactoring techniques to write high-quality code and design robust software architectures.

Clean Architecture is not a silver bullet and its success depends on the technical expertise of the developers. Inexperienced teams may struggle with implementing the architecture correctly. It's important to understand different approaches to software architecture and seek guidance from experienced developers.

Clean Architecture Sucks

On my experiences It was hard to find projects that have had Clean Arquitecture and code well applied. Most have a acceptable Idea of Arquitecture, but with giant controllers and services that ARE hard to maintain. They ARE also time expensive to refactor, and most of business Just want to keep It working, or extend It as fast it possible. Refactor is not often an option from stakeholders pov.

When I first learned about clean architecture I tried to force it on every app i built, whether big or small. I immediately realized how mundane it was to maintain because why do I need a FactoryClass for creating the login page of a small project.

you mean developers suck, not the clean architecture.

I guess you have a point there. Since newly grads don’t have much experience (which I believe no experience at all) does not follow coding ethics. It is their seniors duty to teach them and polish them before taking them to live product. Correct me if I am wrong. Freshers coding on live product with no experience could be more dangerous and risky to which it leads to code exploitation. Giving them knowledge, helping them understand the structure should be a basic duty of a senior.

I partially agree ^^
Clean architecture is good to know “it exists” and can sometimes be useful
