Do you or a loved one suffer from the all to common practice of 'useEffect'? Have you re-rendered more times than you can count? Are you ready to revolutionize your React code?
Explore how to optimize performance, streamline your code, and reduce errors by challenging the conventional use of 'useEffect'.
Inspired by the React Docs themselves, this talk will guide you through common 'useEffect' scenarios, demonstrating powerful alternatives to enhance your codebase. Embrace simplicity and elevate your React development skills with us!
"You might not need an effect... Removing unnecessary Effects will make your code easier to follow, faster to run, and less error-prone."
