My favorite part of the day is explaining to the "senior" dev I work with about how useEffect works.



Unless the person has spent their entire career working with React, I see no contradiction here. Or do you think that any experience outside of React doesn’t count?


Was it me? I ask questions like this all the time. I’m a senior engineer that has spent the better part of 2023 migrating failed react-native disasters back to fully native projects and retraining the devs to use a new stack.


Were you the person throwing things into a dependency array expecting some behavior but getting another because you used the functionality without reading the docs?

Real "senior" devs don't cargo cult.


Nope. Must’ve been someone else!


I see this statement as an absolute win for the “senior” dev.
