This is so important.

It is also the reason why I like global variables. They are accused of making a spaghetti mess but ... in my experience the opposite is true.

Fancy patterns are way worse to reverse engineer than simple flat long functions accessing globals. Easy to debug too!

I agree with that. I despise all the DI things where I can't "goto" to the definition of the actual dependency that was injected, but only to the interface. So frustrating. It makes understanding what is going on so difficult for me.
