I think I'm growing tired of reading articles and books that disguise opinions as "Best Practice." I find most of these types of articles and guides lacking in substance.

All of them seem to use blanket statements that lack any evidence as to why the claim being made is true. We are just expected to trust the author, when the author isn't even an expert in the topic they are discussing.




This is very common and will happen almost everywhere you work.

As an industry we should spend our time pursuing other areas that are more objective.

I have nothing against the article, or the author, but especially with linked in expert opinions there is a lot of noise.


Some of these are (hopefully) common knowlwdge to react devs by now.

Although, even though I disagree with some things on that list. They're most certainly not considered good practices, but they're also not the end of the world, really. The "burns" they'd acquire when applying some of the these tips would lead to great learning opportunities too (without being major setbacks).

Overall, a very decent article for someone starting off with React!


The author does have this disclaimer in the article:

> Take everything as an opinion. Software can be built in multiple ways.
