Stop Overusing useEffect

Great … Thanks for sharing. sometimes in trying ot make thing work and push out features, we forget best practices.

I like that we’re saving valuable time by avoiding unnecessary re-renders due to stale state. One thing useEffect adds is readability—imagine dumping all your logic directly into a component or custom hook without wrapping it in a meaningful block. useEffect helps structure that logic, making your code more organized and easier to follow.
