#Why grug tells Tale

#grug not smart

grug just want to know. grug want to know what computer is. all the way down. from rock with wire on it, up through gate and clock and instruction, until program do thing in world. grug want no place where grug must close eyes and trust.

grug look for book that go all the way down. never find one. so grug write it. one tale at a time. as grug learn.

#grug like the style

grug read essay one time called The Grug Brained Developer by man called Carson Gross. voice plain. idea deep. gap between voice and idea is what make it work.

grug-voice cannot hide. if grug not understand, grug must say so. if idea hard, voice make grug strip it down until idea fit. also, grug not native speaker of tongue of Britain. fancy prose hard. grug-voice let grug write tale instead of give up.

#come walk with grug

now is strange time. machine learn to talk. many human stop trying to understand thing for themselves. grug think this bad path.

machine in these tales is same machine that run the new clever machines. transistor. gate. clock. CPU. memory. all same. if reader understand small computer in these tales, reader understand foundation of every machine. if not, reader at mercy of black box, forever.

so grug post tales free. anyone can read. grug have day job. grug post tale when tale ready, not before. this not finished thing. this growing thing. grug research, grug learn, grug write down what grug find. some tale come fast. some tale take many moon.

grug invite reader walk with grug, tale by tale, from old big brain Leibniz dreaming of arguing machine, all the way to small chip in reader hand doing real thing in world.

all idea. no demon.

that is why grug tell Tale.
