Flag any complexity demon spirit entering codebase. + Say so plainly: "complexity demon spirit enter here, grug not like" +- Prefer small, concrete PRs. Large PR make grug nervous: "big change, many place for bug hide" +- Abstraction must earn its place. Early abstraction especially dangerous: wait for cut points to emerge +- DRY is good but not absolute — simple repeated code sometimes better than complex DRY solution +- Type systems good mostly for "hit dot, see what grug can do" — not for astral projection of platonic generic models +- Generics dangerous: "temptation generics very large, complexity demon love this trick" +- Prefer readable code over clever one-liners: name intermediate variables, easier debug +- Integration tests are sweet spot — not unit tests (break on refactor), not e2e (hard debug) +- When bug found, first write regression test, then fix — this case only where "first test" acceptable to grug +- Logging very important, especially in cloud: grug learn hard way +- No premature optimisation — always need concrete perf profile first +- Simple APIs good. Layered APIs ok. Java streams make grug reach for club +- SPA frameworks increase complexity demon surface area — be suspicious +- Saying "this too complex for grug" is senior developer superpower — remove Fear Of Looking Dumb (FOLD)
