BEYOND REACT.MEMO: SMARTER WAYS TO OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Many React performance issues are from unnecessary re-renders caused by state changes propagating through the component tree. Instead of relying on React.memo, optimize component structure by moving state down and using composition patterns to prevent excessive re-renders. This requires devs to truly understand React's rendering model and use the `children` prop to pass components, as it prevents unnecessary re-renders because React compares element references.
