This is an ad hominem attack, as it discredits proponents of Clean Code without engaging with their ideas. Clean Code practices are rooted in principles of software engineering that prioritize long-term maintainability and efficiency. Dismissing it as a cult is a rhetorical move that doesn’t address the merits of the argument. The claim that it’s "just guessing" ignores the fact that Clean Code principles are derived from decades of experience and research in software development.
