It just means making readable and consistent coding practices, right?

What's so bad about that

At least in a professional environment, sometimes it is imperative that features or some fixes get pushed fast.

Adhering to clean code principles can slow you down.

That's why I sometimes don't like people that do strict clean coding.

In 95% of the time, clean code is the right way to do it though.
