Our Father, who art in Microsoft HQ,

hallowed be thy naming conventions;

thy architecture;

thy will be done;

on earth as it is in Linus Tech Tips.

Give us this day our daily StackOverflow.

And forgive us our 'sploits,

as we forgive those who trespass against our user stories.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from a thicket of global variables.

For thine is the irritating project manager, the power and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Or at least 7 years until obsolescence.

Amen.

the meme is spreading

Nothing wrong with global variables.

If anyone asks just say it's the singleton pattern.

accurate

This, but with not making unit tests instead of global variables.

Have you tried #ifdef'd global variables? Should definitely make things easier to read

Nowadays they call it global state lol

Ironically, a guy named SingletonSean showed me how to avoid singletons.
