tilgrug brain developer

meet grug. grug no big brain, but grug survive many code winter. grug self-aware smol brain. grug wise.

grug tell many secret for young grug (also mostly for grug, grug forget important things). young grug should read whole grug story¹, but grug story long so old grug share favorite part:

• grug enemy apex predator complexity. complexity bad. complexity come in many form, no always see, but sense. complexity very bad. grug often swing club but just hit grug own head. complexity worse than t-rex. grug favorite club “no”, but sometimes use “ok” club to save tribe. grug build code cave strong, try no let complexity demon in.

• grug no get lost in big brain fog. big brain want think-think. grug no want think, grug want build. grug must build to think.

• grug think test, agile, refactor, architecture all like old berry in forest — some taste good, some make tummy ouch. grug learn be cautious …but grug still like berry.

• grug dubious of shamans like test shaman, agile shaman, architect shaman. shaman make idol not club. shaman claim know all good berry, but still make tummy ouch. grug lose many shiney rock to shaman. grug reach slowly for club, but grug try stay calm.

• grug love tool. tool separate grug from dinosaur. grug use tool to build more think less. grug favorite tool ide, type system, debugger. grug trade all shiney rock for good tool.

• grug often feel like grug have no idea what grug doing, grug feel like impostor. grug fear look dumb in front of big brain. grug realize young grug feel this, old grug feel this. grug stay calm. when grug confused grug just say so. grug ask for help. when grug fall down grug not swing club, just make joke. grug see big brain fall down too, grug help. nobody impostor if everybody impostor. except you, young grug… young grug impostor! that bad joke. grug sorry.

young grug too face big brain, t-rex, shaman, complexity demon. grug tale full of oops and ouch. grug whole tale like map to hidden shiney rock. young grug learn and will do okay, make shiney rock pile. young grug become old grug, then choose give rock pile for better cave and dino drumstick or give rock pile for better club and tool. just be careful when give shiney rock to shaman.
