imo RxJS is a cargo cult. the core idea imo is that if you have more nouns and less verbs then you have less stuff that goes wrong b/c there's less noun-verb interaction blowup. in practice however it becomes literal spaghetti code that masquerades as "it VERY big brain"
"panth developers report friction working with RxJS, including issues with learning the framework and reading, writing, and debugging RxJS-based code. This feedback has been repeated across teams, job functions, and tech levels, with even L5-6 engineers reporting friction."

"For a long time I thought that perhaps I simply didn't have enough practice/experience with RxJS, but after using it for quite some time, I still find that the way we use it in many places makes it orders of magnitude more difficult to read compared to a good old imperative"

"Please remember that we do not only write code but we also do read it and it is not only about people who develop code day to day, but also about our SREs. Are observables easy enough so that even if you do not use them daily you can still read them after such class?"

"A lot of us learn how to do things by reading other code, or when trying to debug, we have to read the code. I know I can't be the only one who, despite hopefully being a competent programmer, has a very hard time understanding RxJS code despite doing my best."

“Observables do try a one-size-fits-all approach for all things async. This introduces complexity for the simpler use-cases.”
