Just because it’s not web (LAMP or current-fad.js) software doesn’t make it “weird software”. By that definition everyone I work with does “weird software” since web technology (and the halo of stuff around it) never comes up. Just because places like HN are super, super biased towards web stuff doesn’t make everything else unusual.

It's not even that. Like, that article itself was generated by a SSG that I wrote myself because I wanted to use JSX on the backend without being anything like React (it's rendered as plain HTML by this runtime function[1]). Web or not, I just can't help but do everything differently than everyone else does.

  Maybe you find “CRUD” apps boring…? (Which is quite a reasonable view. Nothing wrong with CRUD, but it might simply not be everyone’s idea of fun.)

  Own it. You're hardly alone. Let everyone else travel as a herd. It's cliched, but you're clearly the type of person who thinks outside the box. That makes you a trailblazer.
