If you're outside the bubble of lefty Twitter programmers that regularly dunk on our friend Uncle Bob here, you might not know who he is. Here's a decent explainer.
TLDR; he wrote a book of bad programming advice, loves police, is racist.
Clean Architecture takes really useful ideas that have been around for years (hexagonal/ports and adapters/DCI yadda yadda), strips them of any nuance and in true Bob style, sells them as a panacea - but to know how to do it right, you’d have to spend more money on a few more videos from him. Classic right wing grift. I hate the dude, I’ve had so many colleagues absorb his shitty attitude and mimic his scoffing when I’m curious about something and ask questions.
It's hardly the worst thing he's done, but at one point he decided to start making sweeping declarations about some concepts in Haskell, which he clearly had just looked up and didn't understand. Didn't matter how many FP experts corrected him, or tried to explain how words like monoid actually have precise mathematical definitions and he can't just say they're exactly the same thing as Unix pipes or whatever.

Holy fucking shit this wasn't a joke???
