React

It boggles my mind why anyone would willingly choose to write apps in this language in 2025.

I don’t want to think about rendering cycles or where I’m calling functions from.

I just want to write JavaScript.

Five more hours of my life debugging a React-related issue that I'II never get back 🫠

You’re telling me if I want to conditionally render stuff that relies on state from a Provider, I have to break out the entire subtree into a `useMemo` expression to prevent the Provider from resetting its state whenever an unrelated component randomly decides to re-render??

Make it make sense 🤡

Man I had this exact issue a few months ago debugging a missed dependency for a usememo in code I didn't write

A better one for me was losing almost a week to doing something conditionally if supplying the tx to monitor vs not supplying the tx to fetch next available:

It only failed on the first one in the list because as a big num evaluates to false in js so when checking if (tx :? Bignum) it would always be false for index 0n kms myself fr
