My entire career as a programmer so far has just been learning the ideals of the Grug Brained Developer the hard way:

The best programmers I know all subscribe to the tenents of the Grug Brained Developer, whether they know it or not. Be like Grug.

I nearly choked on my cornflakes at “visitor pattern (trap)”, because I reached for the visitor pattern only yesterday.
Oh no!
@yiningkarlli terrific stuff! Thanks for posting this here!
grug says things! about programming but also apply outside cave!
@yiningkarlli spot on! Manning has a book called "The programmer's brain" that's really interesting because it tries to work out a programming style based on how our brain and memory are working. (If you're only able to keep 7 bits of information in your short term memory at once and you have a class that's complicated enough to require you to juggle more than that, then you simply won't have a good time trying to understand that code.)

@yiningkarlli Ditto.

I was wondering if Carson Gross wrote that and turns out he did :)

@yiningkarlli readable text apparently also very bad
@tay @yiningkarlli mobile-first design also bad
@yiningkarlli Soon as I saw the meme image at the top of the page I was interested

@yiningkarlli I’ve tried to read that site multiple times, but I just can’t sit through it. It is written in this lame-but-supposedly-funny way, and me brain rebels. I can’t consume it.

Is there a short version fit for human consumption that sums it up nicely without the painful “comedy”?
