#22might be some good points in here but it's sooo hard to read.
Grug use few words, make it easy read grug.

#23Professor Carson if you're in the comments I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything you've contributed. I didn't understand why we were learning HTMX in college and why you were so pumped about it, but many years later I now get it. HTML over the wire is everything. I've seen your work in Hotwire in my role as a Staff Ruby on Rails Engineer. It's the coolest thing to see you pop up in…
i'm not crying your crying

#24Content 1, Style 0 Thinking you are too smart leads to all sorts of trouble, like using C++ and being proud of it. If you think your intelligence is a limited resource however you'll conserve it and not waste it on tools, process and the wrong sort of design.
It would be really embarrassing to use one of the most popular, time-tested languages.
Even if we decided to use Zig for everything, hiring for less popular languages like Zig, lua, or Rust is significantly harder. There are no developers with 20 years experience in Zig

#25Wasn’t HTMX just a meme? I can’t really tell if it’s serious because of Poe’s Law.

#26Probably my single favourite programming article.

The style is the most charming part of this essay.
i think the parent is agreeing with the grug article by saying "content wins over style", not giving the style of the article a score of 0

#30this very cool
I smell a formal grammar behind dumbiffied grug english.
nonetheless, I think that when it says:
> so grug say again and say often: complexity very, very bad
at the end of that section, it shoulud say instead:
> so grug say again and say often: complexity very, very, very bad
this disambiguates 3 instances of same concept/idea AND, even better, showcases 3 values of increasing strength like for warning, error, critical use. most compact.
