Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

React has finally introduced the `useEffectEvent` Hook to solve its biggest problem: infinite loops and stale closures caused by `useEffect` dependency arrays. The hook provides a cleaner solution than the traditional `useRef` workaround by allowing devs to access current state values within effects without triggering re-runs when those values change.
