Managing Complexity in React Components with Focused Design

Most React developers think adding more components always increases clarity. The real reason scalable React apps thrive is how they tame complexity within components themselves. I used to split everything into tiny components, hoping it would make code cleaner. Instead, I ended up with deeply nested props and scattered logic that made debugging a nightmare. The game changer? Embracing focused, self-contained components that manage their own state and logic where it makes sense. Using hooks like useReducer or custom hooks to encapsulate complex logic keeps components readable. Also, don't hesitate to lift state up only when necessary. Over-lifting can cause unnecessary re-renders and harder-to-follow data flow. In a recent project, refactoring a sprawling form into a few well-defined components with clear responsibilities cut down bugs and sped up onboarding for new devs. How do you manage complexity in your React components without over-engineering?
