CHCH.JS – Revisiting React Fundamentals

Talk: Revisiting React Fundamentals: useEffect, useMemo & useCallback
Speaker: Subhra B

About the talk 🎤
With the rise of “vibe coding” and even major outages like Cloudflare’s recent incident caused by misuse of `useEffect`, it feels like a good time to revisit some React fundamentals. This talk will focus on three hooks — `useEffect`, `useMemo`, and `useCallback` — exploring how to use them effectively and avoid some of the most common pitfalls.

About the speaker 👨‍💻
Subhra is a developer at MadeCurious who has been working with React on and off for around six years. He’s no stranger to the same mistakes he’ll be covering in this session — so expect plenty of practical tips grounded in real-world experience.

👉 We’re also trying something new this year: we’ll be recording the talk. Details on where and how you can watch it will be shared closer to the time.
