It's been over a year now since I took the effect pill and I'll probably never develop the same way as I did before. I love effect, and I am absolu...

The difference with the other article I just read couldn't be bigger. This article is actually informative and indept and not written by AI, but it gets almost zero response :(
Anyways, good job 👍 and I hope you get more readers and reactions.
Thank you for the kind words!
I use Vue and Nestjs and I think there are some major overlaps with effect conceptually, like service and context on in nestjs. They are not compatible I think but since they seem so similar I am always asking myself, why would I write this in effect if the framework brings it with it. That is my personal hinderance to use effect or to try to convince my team to use it.
Also, there are not enough examples for frontend and for graphql usage as well as a lot of tooling that autogenerates types on basis of a graphql schema is not available.
I am still very much interested in effect, but since I do not have a project that could make use of it, and I don't know how to beneficially use it in my current work project, I'm stuck.
With no prior FP knowledge the learning curve is even steeper I guess.
effects resources and recommend patterns are still emerging, if you're not comfortable adopting something at this stage thats totally valid! You can still play with effect on the side or use it for smaller projects until you feel it's ready.
If you were able to read the little code I have in my article, that's is rough the sum of required knowledge to be effective with effect, so don't worry about it
I still have to figure out what applications of effect code is out of bounds like "how does it behave with reactivity(refs/effects) from vue?" "how do I come back from effect land to vue land?" "Do I just reinvent the wheel by using effect when there is something in vue already?" "Does vue maybe even do something similar under the hood like with the similarity to signals?"
Thanks for sharing! I've been trying out effect for the last couple of weeks. Still trying to make up my mind if this is something for me, but your post has helped me see some practical use-cases for Effect
Effect can basically do everything besides rendering and intensive number crunching, not saying it should, but I never need to search for a use-case effect covers, I just have use cases. Like a regular application, except I enjoy the experience lol
Welcome to my world Mr. Author, lololololollllll.
I am not sure what you mean 😃
Only that I have the same experience... most apps, hell every app, I've seen in the web world is like this... pure implementation and zero engineering. Dependency conflicts are a death sentence and can never be allowed, first rule of any development going back 50 years... yet, every big app I've seen has them. It's rediculous. Only in web development have I seen this level of chaos.
Yes I'm well acquainted with the issue, I've been developing applications for over a decade now 😄
Thats why I instantly understood why effect is a big deal
Thanks for sharing. Effect has been on my radar for quite some time now but I wanted see to a practical example of it. This was helpful. Effect looks promising.
Amazing! Thank you for your post, it was very informative.
