Seeing that Uncle Bob is making a new version of Clean Code I decided to try and find this article about the original.

Exactly. The article is pretty clear with this point. Junior devs aren't the ones we should be giving mixed bags of advice to.

I’m all for it! What’s the resource that solves this problem?

It must be perfect since we can’t ever give mixed bags of advice. There are apparently better resources although I didn’t see one in the article and things like Code Complete and Pragmatic Programmer address a lot of the same things. Hell, we probably shouldn’t talk about The Mythical Man-Month anymore either. Do we also throw out Design Patterns since singletons are arguably bad design these days?

Literally no need for that level of sarcasm.

I took the things defined in the comments responding to mine and extended them. If we can’t share a mixed bag, all of the things I highlighted are out. It would be logically inconsistent to think otherwise starting from your conclusions. Either we have perfect resources or we have, as I called out, to pick and choose our battles. I want to see a perfect resource not ad hominem.

Edit: genuinely surprised to see someone on a CS instance not understand reductio ad absurdum/impossibile (depending on how you feel about Gang of Four)

Telling you that you don't need to be sarcastic is not ad hominem.
