Top 3: React state management libs in 2022, little known CSS features and list of questions for reflection.

Hello my friends.

Here's what I picked this week, enjoy!

​
​1. React state management libraries in 2022​

TL;DR: A comparison of all state management libraries.

The author compared everything - React Context, mobx, react-tracked, redux, zustand, jotai, recoil, xstate. And compared very well - showed pros, cons, nuances and thoughts about each library.

I bet you're wondering who won?

For the author and his problem it was redux-toolkit and zustand.

In general, there is no “best” library, there is a best library for something. For a particular problem, team, goals, products, speed, etc. It's like walking into a hardware store and saying, give me your best tool. You'll be asked what for? So always choose a tool to solve your problem.

​
2. Question Bank for Managers​

TL;DR: List of questions for reflection.

Even though it was originally written for managers, there are a lot of great questions in there for your own reflection.

I do it myself every week. It consists of 11 questions like "what decision worked well last week and why" or "one decision last week that would make my life better". Great for improving quality of life, finding behaviors that lead to poor productivity levels, and just reflecting on yourself.

3. Lesser-Known And Underused CSS Features In 2022

TL;DR: Little-known CSS features.

In the article you can learn about:

• all
• currentColor
• custom property fallback
• counters (didn't know, that's cool)
• interaction media queries
• :where & :is
• scroll-padding (didn't know either, great stuff!)

annie @soychotic Every time I have a programming question and I rly need help, I post it on Reddit and then log into another account and reply to it with an obscenely incorrect answer.

I did it myself many times on stackoverflow when I started programming to get answers to my stupid questions like "how to connect to the database". Ended up getting banned many times, but learned how to connect to the database tho.

That's all for this week, take care and have a great one!
