As a grug-brained developer, I love the spirit of this, but it's kinda hard to read. Maybe the author can publish an English translation? :)

> grug understand all programmer platonists at some level wish music of spheres perfection in code. but danger is here, world is ugly and gronky many times and code so also must. humility not often come big brained or think big brained easily or grug even, but grug often find "oh, grug no like look of this, grug fix" lead many hours pain grug and no better or system worse even. grug early on often charge into code base waving club wildly and smash up everything, learn not good

> grug not say no improve system ever, quite foolish, but recommend take time understand system first especially bigger system is and respected code working today even if not perfect

grug read this and grok spirit, grug enlightened. master not club grug so much.
