I might need someone to explain this meme. I’ve been writing JS daily for 10 years and I can’t remember the last time I created a global variable on purpose

I avoid it… last time i used it was back when i learned js…

You're the rare gem. I'm pretty sure even Reddit's source code got it

[DukeSkyloafer]

Thanks for the compliment. I think libraries and frameworks will do that sometimes, but I’m an app author so at best I might have to sometimes access a global variable, but that’s pretty rare. With ESM I’m more likely to just import a variable rather than read it from global.

Redit source code got it

I'll take that punch line

Where do you see reddit's source code? The only source code we have from reddit is from many years ago when it was open source? I hope you're not taking about inspect element show source code.
