📚 Whenever I see useCallback, I wonder: why do we need it here? And a lot of the times, when I look deeper, I see that it actually doesn’t do anything. I think a lot of code-bases would be better of just not memoizing at all - and then let the compiler do it for you:

I honestly just use useCallback whenever the lint rule tells me to It hasn't really steered me wrong yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But also, if it's not *blindingly* obvious why useCallback is needed at a given point in the code, then it most likely isn't.

But even if it tells you to use it, did you never have to add a prop to the dependency array? The linter is totally fine with that, but the memoization rarely works if that prop isn't a primitive...
