Hi! I am a Frontend-Developer, working with React and React Native, and focusing on Accessibility. I live in Germany and love gardening in my free time :)

I’m digging into how useEffect behaves in React — and the render queue timing still surprises me sometimes.

It’s wild how something that seems so “after render” can still feel like it sneaks into your logic when you least expect it.

A huge help with that was a blog post on Frontend Masters written by Teng Wei Herr: https://frontendmasters.com/blog/react-internals-which-useeffect-runs-first/

React Internals: Which useEffect runs first? – Frontend Masters Blog

It's not particularly obvious, but a child's useEffect will run before a parent's will. Let's look at why.

I stayed away from social media for 3 years — staying in my comfort zone and not building a public voice as a woman developer.
Is that time wasted? Should I have started YouTube and everything 10 years ago?
My partner told me, “It’s like investing. Better to start late than never.”
So here I am — slowly rebuilding my social self. Writing, blogging, and sharing what I learn, even if I still feel like I don’t know much.
