THLet’s talk about useEffect.
One of the most powerful (and most misused) hooks in React 👇
💬 Comment “react” and I’ll DM you:

If you’ve ever written a messy useEffect and thought “wait… why is this even here?”, this one’s for you.
✅ When to use useEffect:
- Fetch data
- Sync external state
- Handle subscriptions/events
❌ When not to:
- Updating local state after a click
- Doing what props or variables can already handle
Sometimes, useEffect is a sign you’re forcing React to act imperatively, instead of thinking declaratively.
