    The metaphor for bringing something into being makes sense, but how the fuck do you go from writing code to hunting for meat?

      Shitty corporate self-help speak. Like, thinking you gotta 'be a killer' in your job where you sit in a cubicle and send emails all day.

      Robert C. Martin is a self-absorbed sociopath who occasionally has some salient wisdom about wrangling your shitty enterprise Java code. This was not one of those moments. In fact, I don't think he has had one since 2013.

      I guess he looks at programming as achieving a single, focused goal as quickly and straightforwardly as possible. Which is a great way to write shitty "Real Programmer" code that no one can maintain and falls apart.
