React’s big selling point is state management, but managing state is ridiculously trivial.
Articles like these strike me as an expert beginner problem. It requires experience and expertise to evaluate the proper need and business requirements for dependent libraries like Redux. All the while the developer is busy better answering more refined solutions to common problems without critically examining the problem in the first place. In other words the problem the developer is solving is how to do Redux better so that they can do React better which is extremely artificial considering the actual problem is just state management. Considering the time investment involved it seems more of a resume padding game than a real world technology solution.
- quickthrower2 6y agoHi Austin, thanks for the feedback, I’ve been thinking about this article a bit since I wrote it and wondering if I “pitched” it right. The advice isn’t aiming to be righteous but rather pragmatic - you sometimes have to learn something because other people will use it or for a job interview question. React’s state management with hooks and passing handlers via props can go a long way though!
