That’s a fair point—reading the documentation is always a great starting place! The React docs, especially the new ones, do a fantastic job of explaining concepts like useMemo and when to use it.

However, I find that documentation often provides general guidance but might not dive deep into specific use cases or edge scenarios that developers face in the real world. That’s why I wanted to write this article—to share examples, clarify common misconceptions, and start a discussion around best practices.

If there’s something specific from the docs that you feel is worth highlighting, I’d love to hear about it! The more perspectives we share, the better we all learn. 😊
