Is CSS a programming language?
IDK, but Salesforce calls me a software engineer.
You may remember me as the guy who got, like, a DOZEN likes on a reply to one of your posts

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

He is a computer safety researcher.

People give `useEffect` a bad rap, but it isn't usually the source of the problem. The real problem is too many `useState`s.
Devs fail to see how their data is connected and model it too discretely. As those connections appear, it is easier to synchronize than refactor the model. 1/
