Grug Dev

Someone posted this in a slack: https://grugbrain.dev/

Its maybe a little bit long and the joke wears thin by the end but also I wish I had written it. In a clever way it talks through so much of different sorts of dysfunction in Software Development.

You can also read it in translation here.

Some parts I liked:

On Agile’s ability to solve all problems:

grug tempted reach for club when too much agile talk happen but always stay calm

grug wonder why big brain take hardest problem, factoring system correctly, and introduce network call too

On Front End Development:

grug not like big complex front end libraries everyone use

grug make htmx and hyperscript to avoid

On Microservices:

grug wonder why big brain take hardest problem, factoring system correctly, and introduce network call too

seem very confusing to grug

On Imposter Syndrome:

always grug one of two states: grug is ruler of all survey, wield code club like thor OR grug have no idea what doing

grug is mostly latter state most times, hide it pretty well though
