Grub Needs KOOLAID

Even though it’s a 3-Easy project, I’m finding that Grub would still benefit from my new practice of having a KOOLAID file to encapsulate the project’s Zeitgeist. So before I post the repository to Codeberg, I need to write one.

And while I’m at it, I should include some screen captures of the existing displays, too.

I’ve used countless bug-trackers over the years. Any time I’ve worked as part of a team, I’ve just used whatever the team was using. But for my own projects? Where I’m flying solo? I’ve never found one that suited the way I like to work, so I wrote my own.

And truth be told, I didn’t like that one either, so I did it again.

And then again.

The problem was that I kept trying to do too much, make things too complicated. So it would work for a while, but then I’d take a break and go work on other things for a month or three, but every time I came back, it was always the same: things were too clunky, too confusing, and too hard to bootstrap myself back into. (Things might have been different if I’d been using KOOLAID files, but I hadn’t invent those yet.)
