For me clean code means exactly two things:

* The total time it takes to perform a large refactor. This should take no more than 4 hours, 2 ideally, to code and qualify with high confidence using test automation.

* Speed of code style enforcement. If it takes more than 1 minute total effort to impose a code style evaluation (including human time) then it is wrong, even for a very long application.
