I build fast, accessible web interfaces for products people use every day. Currently owning the task management and chat modules in a real-time collaboration platform — handling virtualized rendering, state management, and performance at scale.

I thought CORS was some kind of backend validation. I was wrong. Here's what it actually is and why it fails.
Virtualizing the DOM isn't enough. If your JSX still maps all items, React does all the work anyway.
useEffect works but creates race conditions, loading state bugs, and unnecessary complexity. There are better patterns now.
