Glurp is the mascot of Ork Meter: a pixel-art ork with green skin, big lower tusks, one heavy brow, yellow eyes, a purple hoodie with gold drawstring tips, and a pair of well-travelled brown boots.

Glurp is a software developer and a wizard. For ages they hand-forged code in a tower at the edge of the valley, by the light of a crystal ball whose three turning rings show where everything goes. Then the agents arrived, and Glurp found themself in a bewildering new world where tokens vanish faster than biscuits at a stand-up.

Glurp uses they/them pronouns.

Glurp is an Orkish software developer and wizard who spent ages hand-crafting code by the light of their crystal ball, a three-ringed seeing stone that shows where everything goes. When the age of agentic AI arrived, Glurp dived in with tools like Claude Code and Codex and promptly started bleeding tokens: test logs flooding the context, agents reading the same file five times, loops repeating the same failing step, giant output burying everything, and cache going cold right before an expensive resume. After asking "Oi, where'd all me tokens go?" one too many times, Glurp found Ork Meter, which counts every token so every token counts, and Ork Meter Plus, which heals thy wounds. These days Glurp counts while their indigo cousin Glorp conducts a whole horde of agents with Orkestera, and the two of them argue about it at every family dinner. Grandmother Orgle keeps score.
