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.

@dusk yes, for sure! I even have separate ones for home and the office 😂

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.

@sukiletxe @FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin that was also my knowledge so far. Today is my first time on Mastodon and I've never used Twitter, so I thought that images there without alt text are skipped too.🤦‍♀️

@jakobrosin @FreakyFwoof Absolutely! I would love too, but I need to meet more real people and not just read books.

Do you have any go-to resources sharing experiences? (e.g. user interviews, blogs?)

@jakobrosin
@FreakyFwoof that's really good to know. The real problem is that tutorials do not teach that. It is said everywhere "No alt text needed for decorative images". The connection to real people, i understand now, can enlighten. I am really happy you started an arguement with me, guys :)
@jakobrosin yeah thank you for clarifying it for me, I didn't imagine that my photo could be interesting and decided that it'd better be excluded.
@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin Sorry to be rude, but you are not to decide what I am able to do and what I am not. Because of such negative attacks people are panicking only hearing "accessibility" and eventually choose not to do anything with that. I am sorry for offending you by excluding you from understanding what is on my picture, in my future posts I will add alt text even for "black wall" picture types, if it is so important for you, guys :)
@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin YouTube videos is not the same, there you do not have a choice :) but decorative images do not have to have alt text, and if i am not boosted because i do not look at accessibility in black and white then let it be.
@jakobrosin because I wanted to :)
