I don't know, I think the kind of person that comments on hacker news is not the average sort of programmer. I mentioned Clean Code to a more experienced colleague today and he had no idea what I was talking about, and when I mentioned the ideas to him he laughed at them. So I don't think there's some sort of pendulum swinging the other way and people are going to start writing massive functions. You'll probably just see small subcultures come up with some new idea that's obnoxious.

There have been some pendulum swinging around things like monoliths/microservices, but even then the amount of people that those things effected is actually much less than the larger community of programmers as a whole.
