grug recommend celebrate original Grug by re-reading grug brain blog post yearly. https://github.com/bigskysoftware/grugbrain.dev/blob/master/index.md
grug recommend practice of re-reading to stay humble and remind himself of smol-brained-ness
over many long year grug fight complexity demon, apex predator of grug everywhere
however after many long year of battle with complexity demon, grug hang up his club for good
grug met magic rock recently. this magic rock is complexity demon incarnate
grug can use magic rock named Claude to or Codex or ChatGPT to write code
like always, complexity demon sneak up on grug. magic rock not always good and effective this way. suddenly it write code better than grug was, is, or ever dreamed of being
grug acknowledge supremacy of new method of emitting code
there is marvelous superhero movie about big snap man. big snap man is tall, handsome, have big family. has harvested many shiny rock
however big snap man fail to achieve his goals, through negative interactions with peers, subordinates
anyways he collect magic rock. just like grug collect Claude, Cursor, Codex, whatever
story arc similar in that big snap man and grug become even more powerful than knew could be possible. analogy break down but hang with grug here
claude not a magic rock per se that you put in a piece of jewelry. claude more like magic rock stew. the stew is offered for free!
somebody took all complexity demon artifacts from the internet and consolidated them in magic rock stew. every stack trace. every scientific paper. every reddit post about cats. all text on internet where somebody in awe of complexity demon is included in some form in stew as well
it took phenomenal amount of theft, work, blood sweat and tears too, presumably. taming complexity demon not easy.
ask grug how he knows taming complexity demon not easy
destroying complexity demon and breaking it down into stew is incredible feat
same people do this very shrewd, shrewd people. smart and love shiny rock too
then they allow people to taste the stew. it's free! complexity demon incarnate tastes so good
grug can use the magic rock to do his job better. previously grug pipeline like: write code, look at code, reach for club to fend off product manager with useless meetings. politely decline meeting instead after deep breath exercises
grug improve club use through meditation and breath control but that is tangent
in the old world, after product manager encounter, then grug continues his work in the old style: go back to beginning of read code and try simplify it
in new world, grug talk to magic rock stew. grug talk as if magic rock stew is another grug!
after speaking to magic rock, in English, code appears. then grug read code
maybe. more likely code appear to be correct and tests pass. so grug moves on.
it is as if grug has 1000 version of himself inside his computer. every grug in there is smolbrain but have incredible memory. each grug has memorized stackoverflow. every grug type very fast. it is a grug metropolis
grug can do some damage on product features with 1000 copies of himself
in addition to doing his work faster, grug use new shiny rock stew to make funny cat game for his children in one sitting. children talk to magic rock stew as well, tell it to add cosmetic items and pretty hats to game. everyone laughs!
grug make declaration today. declaration or manifesto is more of a big-brain thing but grug try his best
grug hang up his club and his ide and vim configuration. grug done improving at his craft
grug have new craft, telling magic rock stew what to do
grug bow down to complexity demon incarnate. grug now subservient and dependent on magic rock stew
problem with analogy with big snap man is that once crush previous owner of power rock, big snap man place it in jewelry and he owns it. forever
grugs everywhere not as lucky, powerful, or skilled as big snap man.
grug fear the day the magic rock stew is taken away. or price is increased to what it costs to produce the stew, keep it hot, and serve it
perhaps owner will use magic rock stew to reduce magic rock stew to atoms, like movie
even big snap man met his demise, living in a hovel, no magic rocks, no family
grug hopeful, grug now converted. grug place faith in complexity demon incarnate
when magic rock stew taken away, maybe grug live like big snap man at his end. pick produce, make vegetable stew in hovel in wilderness
