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

    You’re nitpicking.

    As it happens, it’s just an example to illustrate specifically the “extract to method” issues the author had.

    Of course, in a real world scenario we want to limit mutating state, so it’s likely this method would return a Commission list, which would then be used by a Use Case class which persists it.

    I’m fairly sure the advice about limiting mutating state is also in the book, though.

    At the same time, you’re likely going to have a void somewhere, because some use cases are only about mutatimg something (e.g. changing something in the database).
