📞 A very common frontend interview question these days: “Why does React act differently in local dev (StrictMode) compared to production?” When we run a React + TypeScript app locally, it usually runs inside StrictMode. In this mode React behaves more “strict” on purpose: it does extra work to help us catch hidden bugs and unsafe patterns in our components. In production these extra checks are turned off to keep the app fast and smooth. That’s why we sometimes see different behavior locally and in production, even with the same code. 🤓 What often happens in local dev: ▪️ Components can render twice. ▪️ useEffect and other effects can also run twice. ▪️ Ref callbacks may be called more than once. ▪️ We see extra warnings for unsafe or outdated patterns. In production: ▪️ Components render once. ▪️ Effects run once. ▪️ No extra StrictMode checks. 💡 The interesting part: code that “kind of works” in production can look broken in dev, simply because StrictMode is exposing real problems - impure renders, missing cleanups, hidden side effects. Instead of turning StrictMode off, it’s usually better to fix what it reveals. 👀 That’s exactly what many interviewers want to hear: you understand StrictMode as a development safety net, not a production feature. #React #TypeScript #Frontend #WebDevelopment #React #StrictMode #JavaScript #Interview

🚀 Frontend Interview Questions – Day 3 Continuing my daily learning and sharing some important frontend interview questions. 1️⃣ What is the difference between call(), apply(), and bind() in JavaScript? call() invokes a function immediately with arguments passed individually. apply() invokes a function immediately but arguments are passed as an array. bind() returns a new function with a bound context but does not execute immediately. 2️⃣ What is the this keyword in JavaScript? The this keyword refers to the object that is executing the current function. Its value depends on how the function is called. 3️⃣ What is useEffect in React? useEffect is a React Hook used to perform side effects such as API calls, event listeners, and DOM updates inside functional components. Example: useEffect(() => { fetchData(); }, []); 4️⃣ What is the difference between state and props in React? Props are read-only data passed from parent to child components. State is local data managed within a component and can change over time. 5️⃣ What is CORS in web development? CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a security mechanism that allows or restricts resources requested from another domain. 📌 Practicing and sharing frontend interview concepts daily. Frontend Developer with 6+ years experience in React, JavaScript, and Next.js. Open to new opportunities. #frontenddeveloper #javascript #reactjs #codinginterview #webdevelopment
