I totally agree. I have this nagging feeling that LLMs push things like this past the breaking point. Effects and contracts are _obviously_ useful to humans as well, we've just gotten by without them for a long time. But when you have intelligence on demand, context building is a huge bottleneck, and local reasoning becomes way more useful from an efficiency perspective.

I'd love to see some actual experiments with LLMs in this area. There are a fair number of languages with effect implementations at this point.
