The Grug Brained Developer
&gt; sometimes probably best just not tell project manager and do it 80&#x2F;20 way. easier forgive than permission, project managers mind like butterfly at times overworked and dealing with many grugs.<p>In my experience, I have to fight to keep my devs from over engineering their solutions and just get something going.<p>I&#x27;d love to work with a dev who&#x27;s happy to think about how to most quickly deliver value and who&#x27;s willing to help with the cost-benefit analysis for each suggested feature.<p>Problem is, for that, you need a developer who cares about and deeply understands the use case&#x2F;the product. Many of the devs I&#x27;ve had to work with were more interested in building pristine codebases with clever abstractions and ability to scale to unnecessary numbers of users or bytes.
