Grug came up a week ago in a Philosophy of Software Design submission's comments. I thought the commentary was pretty good. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38011938

> I feel the exact same about grug. I don't think people actually agree on what's simple, so it's pretentious to pretend your "simple" is the obvious one that a caveman would agree with.

Simple/simplicity is often one of the most complex things to discover. I see a lot of people resolute & certain that everything around them (except what they do) is complex & needs to be bent into simplicity. It feels dangerously weak & clutching after authority.
