8 years ago, I started learning #Haskell to program myself a todo list app.

How did that go for my todo list?

Well, it is filled with:

* Maintaining the UI library I use for it (#reflex)
* Maintaining the OS I use to package and deploy it (#nixos)
* Being part of the steering committee of the compiler to build it (#ghc)
* Ah, and I have job were I use all that stuff.

However, the app is currently not in a usable state, so I basically coordinate all that on chaotic stack of papers on my desk.

@maralorn funniest post I've read in a while! :)

@maralorn Didn't you use to use TaskWarrior? Did that not work out for you?

maralorn

@mart_w Yeah, I used it for years (with varying self-written frontends) and it is great. It does however miss a few crucial features I need. And tasksync did not work to my satisfaction.

@maralorn They have a new approach to syncing now fwiw. I haven't tried it out yet though.

@zeri A side effect that code can have without even being run! 🤯 (Not sure how to represent that in the type system. Maybe not even monads are sufficient for that.)
