React HTX Meetup — Why Did This Re-render?

Ever stare at your React app wondering… “why did this re-render?”
In this interactive session, we’ll demystify React’s rendering and lifecycle—especially how it works in React 18 with hooks, effects, and concurrent rendering. Whether you're new to React or trying to squash some rendering bugs, this talk will help you:

• Understand what triggers re-renders and why
• Get a grip on `useEffect`, dependency arrays, and cleanup
• Avoid common pitfalls like infinite loops and stale closures

Expect live coding, interactive challenges, and plenty of “aha!” moments.
