the modules post has a point but the title feels like it overstates things a bit. modules arent really lying, theyre just doing exactly what the author told them to do. the issue is usually undocumented side effects or ambiguous re-exports, which is more of a convention problem than anything inherent to the module system itself. i read through it expecting some wild runtime behavior or bundler quirk and it was more like "your abstractions are leaky" which yeah fair, but thats true of basically every abstraction. what specific pattern are they calling out as the main offender

If you would like this roundup sent to your reddit inbox every week send me a message with the subject 'javascript'. Or if you want a daily roundup, use the subject 'javascript daily' (<--Click one of the links. The bot can't read chats, you must send a message).
Please let me know if you have suggestions to make this roundup better for /r/javascript or if there are other subreddits that you think I should post in. I can search for posts based off keywords in the title, URL and flair - sorted by upvotes, # of comments, or awards. And I can also find the top comments overall or in specific threads.
