It’s more difficult when you work with a huge legacy code base that is full of them and you have to do days of work in oder to rewrite and test everything rather then just use one.
Once the code has given into the temptation, every generation must bear the cost of those sins.
Yeah, I hear you on being handed the legacy base where someone in days of yore gave into the global temptation. Trying to refactor that kind of thing can take forever and it’s often very brittle.
Funny, take an upvote
But honestly, I have not used global variable in over a decade. It’s completely unnecessary
