I was at programming 2025 and heard a developer struggling with glitching in reactive systems. Made me dig deeper into Observable reactivity model. I sometimes see glitching but its when I manually short circuit the dataflow graph. The actual engine is glitch free even when you put async tasks in the middle. I've properly tested it now!

4 hours! And still going strong! It's really too bad the whole thing has been at turning-into-a-pumpkin time relative to me.
