This. The article would be completely contentless if not for pointing out the genuine pain that is JS object equality (the issue is that this is a JS pain and not a React pain: hooks just makes it more apparent). The only thing I'll say is that battling with this pain has tended toward my inventing less generalised but more readable/maintainable/elegant solutions to most individual problems where I've encountered it. e.g.: - object equality would solve this problem easily :( - maybe I should've enforced strict immutables throughout? - oh maybe I could approach it differently. Yes, let's try solution X - hmm solution X isn't very reusable but it sure is clear and intuitive to read
