React Hooks were first introduced in React 16.8 at React Conf 2018. Since then, they have become very popular for several reasons. Firstly, with Hooks, you can extract stateful logic from a component so it can be independently tested and reused. Hooks allow you to reuse stateful logic without changing your component hierarchy, making it easy to share. Secondly, you can use Hooks to split components into smaller functions (e.g. setting up a subscription, fetching data, etc.). Lastly, Hooks let you use more of React’s features without classes.

One of the recurring trends I’ve observed across multiple industries and at organizations that differ in both structure and size is the difficulty of delivering on strategic initiatives.
We use Junior, Intermediate, and Senior in our conversation, but know these seniorities are somewhat arbitrary. During our talk, we discuss that the Junior archetype needs support to complete complex tasks and learn new tools. Intermediate developers are looking to tackle larger problems but don't have the problem-solving experience required to tackle difficult problems without support. Senior developers are the first to reframe a problem and efficiently solve problems and match the problem to its appropriate context. We see Seniors as developers with the most problem-solving experience and not developers with the most knowledge.
Motion graphics are an effective way to add visual interest to any website or app. They're also a great way to highlight key points in your content and improve patient compliance. We've put together examples of how motion graphics can be used effectively in digital therapeutics.
