  In what way would you say they are related? I've read both but don't see it

    Introducing a needless us/them dynamic. Don't do it the way those elites do it, do it like us real grugs. That's why it's so easy to rush in and agree with everything. In another article, you might have to read 3 points for microservices, and 4 against. But here? Nope. Factoring? Just something you do with your gut. Know it when ya see it. Grug isn't going to offer up the why or how, because that's something a reader could disagree with.

      I don't see it as an us/them, he even says: > note: grug once think big brained but learn hard way It's basically a lot of K.I.S.S. advice. Of course you should use the best tool for the job, but complexity often sneaks up on you. > Factoring? Just something you do with your gut. Know it when ya see it. Grug isn't going to offer up the why or how, because that's something a reader could disagree with. I would dispute this characterization. Grug says it's difficult, and it is, but gives specific advice, to the extent one can: - grug try not to factor in early part of project and then, at some point, good cut-points emerge from code base - good cut point has narrow interface with rest of system: small number of functions or abstractions - grug try watch patiently as cut points emerge from code and slowly refactor - working demo especially good trick: force big brain make something to actually work to talk about and code to look at that do thing, will help big brain see reality on ground more quickly
