From class components to hooks, clarity and trade-offs Reflecting on the shift from React class components to function components, and the trade-offs between explicit lifecycle clarity and composability.

I miss class components in React!

But, I think having worked on big projects back in the time of class components really makes you appreciate WHY and WHAT hooks actually solved

Remember friends, AI is NOT deterministic 🧡

Schematic drawing of GO app

Looking to upskill your backend knowledge?

Highly recommend looking into GO. I did a course with @frontendmasters.com. This was great, but I honestly think it would be quite easy to get started by yourself

And, don't forget to write or draw what you learn, people! It will stick much easier 🙌🏼
