When you get stuck writing code, you turn to AI.
But let me tell you something.
AI can’t save you if your code is a mess.
It’s like building a house on sand.
Sure, it stands for a while, but one gust of wind, and it collapses.
AI is just a tool.
If you don’t know how to write clean, maintainable code, you’re setting yourself up for failure.
You think knowing a programming language and building a website makes you a programmer?
If you can’t maintain the code you wrote, you’re no better than someone who makes vaccines and unfortunately vaccines killed them.
There’s no difference between the person eating bugs and the one writing them—they both thrive in chaos.
I’ve seen it over and over again.
Developers who know five programming languages.
They can build apps, websites, software.
They know algorithms and data structures like the back of their hand.
But when faced with a large project, they crumble.
They’re like pilots who design their own planes but don’t know how to fly them.
They crash into their own code.
That was me, once.
I’d write thousands of lines of code, only to realize I couldn’t even understand what I wrote last week.
It was chaos.
But then it hit me—every developer struggles with this.
It’s not about how much you know; it’s about how you organize and structure what you know.
I decided to escape this trap.
After five months of intense work—four to five hours a day writing, designing, and researching—I created something I wish I had when I started.
A book.
A guide.
A lifeline.
Clean Code Zero to One.
This isn’t just another book about coding.
It’s built on Robert C. Martin’s (Uncle Bob) clean code practices and modern principles, but with a twist.
Thousands of digital illustrations.
Graphical examples that feel alive.
This book doesn’t just teach clean coding; it immerses you in it.
It takes you out of the confusion and places you in real-world scenarios where clean code thrives.
No one has written a book like this in the clean software development field after Martin.
Why?
Because it’s hard.
Because it takes time.
And because most people aren’t willing to put in the effort.
But I did.
Every line of code we write reflects how we think—not just about the problem at hand but about programming as an art.
Anyone can write code (zero).
Even AI.
But only those who write clean, maintainable code (one) will survive.
This book is your guide from zero to one.
It’s more than a textbook—it’s an experience.
It’s a chance to write code you can be proud of and to join the few who truly understand what clean code means.

As I've grown as a developer, I have come up with some personal guidelines:
Thanks for sharing this book!
Sounds like a skill issue
