⚛️ Most misunderstood React concept in interviews: Re-renders. Many developers think: “Re-render means the DOM updates.” Not true. A re-render means React runs your component function again. The DOM only updates - if something actually changed after reconciliation. React re-rendering isn’t the enemy. Unnecessary work is. So React developers don’t fear from re-renders. Just understand them. #ReactJS #FrontendDevelopment #JavaScript #TechInterviews #SoftwareEngineering

True and re-renders also create new function references, which can cause child components to re-render unnecessarily. So in some cases, optimizing renders does make sense.
