SOLID has been hailed as the go-to guidelines to write "clean code", but I disagree. I believe SOLID programming principles were invented to placate bored corporate programmers, and is only meant to make code look clean, but make code less scalable, more complex for no reason, and less maintainable. I outline my proposed method to write actual "clean code", and talk about how code should be used to solve real problems, not imaginary ones.
