Grug is the wise fool in the spirit of Lao Tzu, St. Francis, and Diogenes. If you find it offensive, that's the intellectual pride it's meant to make fun of.

The principles are sound but I dislike the cave-man-esque nature of it. Even a wise fool is smarter than that. Language is foundational. Even a wise fool chooses words wisely.

”Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools speak because they have to say something” -Plato

That’s the bit. It’s a joke.

How does that make it offensive? To me, that makes it relatable.

Midwit take.

Grug is both the high and low end of the Bell curve.

This seems to miss the point. Being Grug is the endgame.

> THINK they are big brained developers many, many more, and more even definitely probably maybe not like this, many sour face (such is internet)

> (note: grug once think big brained but learn hard way)

It just reads like they had a stroke and can no longer function.

I guess it's not for everyone. It makes sense to me. shrug
