In this clip, Uncle Bob (Robert C. Martin) challenges the modern attitude of casually releasing buggy "beta" software to users. He argues that this mindset reflects a dangerous erosion of professional standards in software development.

Uncle Bob reminds us that:

A beta should be carefully tested, not an excuse for poor quality.
Releasing software means taking responsibility—you should know your code works.
The world expects quality from software—so why do developers lower their own standards?
This video dives deep into the philosophy of clean code, the responsibility of developers, and the balance between speed and quality—especially in startups vs. mature products.
