React Hooks Best Practices

Today I learned about the importance of using useCallback and useMemo properly.

Key Takeaways

  • useCallback should be used when passing functions as dependencies to other hooks
  • useMemo is great for expensive computations
  • Don't overuse them - they have their own overhead

Remember: Premature optimization is the root of all evil, but strategic memoization can significantly improve performance in React apps.
