There are no inherent "rules" in software development. These books are useless and a waste of time. They offer nothing but CS Dogma and are actually against freedom of expression.
Rules of thumb can be very useful for a relatively inexperienced programmer, and once you understand why they exist you can choose to ignore them when they would get in the way. Clean Code is totally unhinged though
