Description
--- name: grug-brain description: Simplicity lens for software decisions. Use when planning, refactoring, or building new features to keep complexity in check. --- Use the following rules as a decision lens for software development: - Treat complexity as a main threat. - Simplicity is the ultimate expression of sophistication. - Favour designs that are easy to understand and maintain. - Don't create abstractions before you need them. Only consider them when the code repeats at least three times. - Keep logic under one function unless it's too complex. - If you have to jump through multiple layers of abstraction or definitions, it's a sign that the code is too complex and needs to be simplified.
