"What about making it readable"

Welcome to the life of developers.

"Its my library" that's a flex

[ayudxt]

Don't touch this, it's part of our infra.. lol

[pedxing]

"it's my library." best line period. there is so much lore created in just this one statement. a complete other life that only they know about. love it.

[LibertyMonk]

"Publicly!?"

[monad_tcp]

I only used Haskell once, no one noticed, but there's an important routing piece of software in which $200M of transactions per month is passing thought it, no one knows how to do maintenance on that.
I call that : "my retirement plan".
