guys, i think the parent makes more sense if you qualify as
state machines suck if:
- the problem isn't inherently stateful
- the stateful code is not carefully written
i think the problem is as the OP dscribes: people often write stateful code without realizing it, thus the code doesn't show explicit understanding the combinatorical number of state transitions and all the possible edge case bugs.
