ok, even if your code is meant as a scrappy cli tool to get things done, if you're sharing it you should still use good code practices

and at work, if it's code you're sharing about then yes I'm going to have problems with every return value being treated as global. That's not flexibility, that's a mess that I'll need to fix if I want to change anything

@Kabit haha guess what the prod code I have to work on right now does extensively

@noiob 😭

it's so hard to fix that. This (python) has a bunch of async code with no args and no returns because everything just edits a few big global dictionaries >.>

@Kabit I mean it's hard to fix here because it's a massive codebase but also this is php
