Yes, you're correct, and he got it wrong when talking about it . This kind of goes towards my point. useEffect works, and it works great. It's flexible and powerful - but it's cryptic as hell, and the interface is just &qu

Why does large-scale corporate IP theft matter? Well, for one thing, I can't imagine the next Neato being willing to invest in all that R&D if a chinese company is going to rip it off and sell it for peanuts, just so the internet
