A common refactor mistake: extracting JSX first. Splitting into <Header /> <Body /> <Footer /> helps readability — but the real complexity stays buried inside Body. Better order: extract rules → test rules → then split components if JSX is still noisy.

Rich text editor bugs hide in tiny interactions: click an image caption, type text, press Enter, verify the image wasn't deleted, check the next paragraph gets focus. That one test is worth 100 snapshots. Test the interaction.

At that point the real model is not "an effect." It's a state machine. Explicit states + transitions = no stale IDs, no impossible UI, testable edge cases. If your component has dirty/saving/saved/error logic — it wants a state machine.

Autosave looks simple until it isn't. "Just debounce a useEffect" works for v1 — then races, stale saves, and lost work crash the party.

AI did not just make code cheaper. It made maintainer attention more expensive. In OSS, the valuable contribution is not only "here is code." It is: the problem, the reproduction, the tradeoff, and the smallest useful fix. Good contributions compress maintainer attention.

Local-first is not just offline mode. It changes the product relationship: your work starts with you, survives the network, and syncs when the system catches up. That one shift changes architecture, UX, recovery paths, and trust.

Rich-text editors are not textareas with bold buttons. They are document systems: schemas, selections, history, identity, comments, embeds, collaboration, import/export, and recovery paths. The toolbar is the easy part. The product system underneath is where the complexity lives.

Most complex UI bugs are invalid states wearing a nice design system. Once you add loading, retry, cancel, partial success, background sync, and recovery paths, you are not just managing component state anymore. You are modeling product behavior.

A good statechart is a product spec developers can run. It captures what can happen, what cannot happen, and what the UI should do next. That is the real value for complex product flows: ambiguity becomes visible before it turns into bugs.

From N useState hooks to one shared context. Only one block highlights at a time ✅

I was about to rant about no one complaining of Bluesky not having an edit button but after a quick search 😂 Honestly, I wish it would be an easier way to explain ppl why an edit button is not as simple as it sounds 😭
