Developing a Haskell project, indenting everything with 3 spaces. Develop to over a million lines of code. Use Darcs as a repository. Run the code on AIX powerpc architecture. Suffering from special snowflake syndrome.

Hahaha, this made me laugh! Here, have an upvote!

@Bitwise @aaxa This project is still running on the servers of a large pharmaceutical multinational, running simulations on a separate CUDA farm, checking results in production labs.

Last I heard they at least ported most of their servers from AIX to Linux, and in my defense neither the language nor the system architecture was my decision.

But I do feel bad for the current maintainer.

Oh wait, forget all of the above.

My biggest sin is actually... zero documentation for a million lines of Haskell.

@bittersweet Haha damn son 😂

Oh fuck I forgot the wk81 tag.

@bittersweet You can always repost it :)

What's the snowflake syndrome?😅

@bittersweet Linux, but still on power?

@theCreativeOne @ArcaneEye

The lust to pick the most unique technologies to work with. You know, trying to run RedoxOS on a potatopowered Raspberry Pi with xmonad (because i3wm is too common), using your custom compiled rxvt terminal with an ncurses devrant client.

Wait is there an ncurses devrant client? If not... I need it...

Hello, I'm bittersweet, and I'm a special snowflake.

I've been trying to use OSX, Windows, or even just Ubuntu for 2 weeks now, but at 3am I'm just not strong enough and I find myself compiling Gentoo on my old ARM smartphone, after I soldered a bigger BGA DDR ram chip on it.

It's not just an addiction, it's a disease.

@bittersweet hhahaha thanks, for explaining the snowflake syndrome
