I must admit I had never thought about this relationship and, as much as I love effect systems, this does make some sense and brings up PTSD from various ancient Lisp codebases

I don't care if I'm the last man on Earth saying it: the recent fascination with effect systems is just the rehabilitation of dynamic scope and has all the same troubles. There's no cheat code that makes ambient authority actually good.

The reason I disagree with this is because most products have written manual copypasta slop for front end code for three decades and were just fine I guess

one of the most underrated asymmetries right now is that slop is totally fine for the backend and basically fatal in the frontend.

if you’re backend is slop, the app still works. if your front end and overall experience is slop, the *product* does not.
