I've spent the last few weeks trying all sorts of React 19 edge cases. (publishing vids on this soon)
Realization: I rarely need useState anymore. React 19 offers focused alternatives.
RSC, useActionState, useFormStatus, and useOptimistic replaced nearly all my useState calls.
This meme is extra relevant right now because while React 19 provides streamlined patterns for solving the same problems with less code, it also still feels a bit like a dirt path - harder to find docs and examples for edge cases, and the API isn't officially stable yet.
