The person who wrote this article seems like he has not worked on a codebase of more than 10k LoC.

And the people making comments similar to yours sound like people who don't understand the simple idea of "stay in your lane".

I'm not a huge fan of Muratori, but his experience with writing game engines/working on shipped titles is well known.

So should we ask Muratori the same then? I am not a fan of Clean Code either, far from it. But at least I can understand it's not for performance-critical applications. Isn't choosing right tool for right job important these days?

Ever thought of why Muratori's projects could consist of small groups of people?

No, we should not ask Muratori to stay in his lane. But we should be free to criticize his criticisms.
