How do you fetch and persist server side data without useEffect? (Assuming vanilla react)

That’s probably the main real-world use case for useEffect. Dedicated third-party libraries like React Query obviously use useEffect under the hood as well

Yeah that's what I thought -- all the React codebases that I've worked in are riddled with `useEffect` for this reason primarily.

I'm jealous, then. I've seen all kinds of deranged Rube Goldberg machines built using useEffect
