I love this and often think about how we can write more robust systems without having to rewrite the whole thing when the implementation of just one part changes. State has a way of becoming a global variable which all modules depend on

100 years of solitude was a book that left such an imprint on me. I read it nearly 25 years ago, and it was many years after reading the book that I finally started to understand it, but glad that I read it.. a true masterpiece!
