If you're not using a task runner/build system like Grunt or Gulp, you probably need to! Build systems make your websites load faster, code faster, deploy better...it's like a cocktail bomb for coder happiness.

Before watching this video:
- what is a build system? youtu.be/XJ5F-Auhato
- what is node.js? youtube.com/watch?v=pU9Q6oiQNd0&list=PLoYCgNOIyGAApoDfJHjmMgGNlYenKg5jO&index=3

So what is Grunt? It's a task runner. It runs tasks - things you have to do every day, or don't do every day because it would take too much effort. With Grunt, instead of spending your time DOING the tasks, you spend your time AUTOMATING the tasks once, then run them in no time for the rest of the project.
