"Hey guys, I've been following some online courses and YouTube tutorials for React, and I've noticed a few common mistakes that people make when they're just starting out. It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the new concepts, but I think some of these mistakes can be avoided with a bit of guidance. Can anyone share their stories or some tips on what to watch out for?"

"Hey guys, I'd say one of the biggest mistakes I see beginners make is trying to learn React without understanding the basics of JavaScript first. Make sure you're solid on ES6, functional programming, and state management before diving into a complex framework like React. It's much easier to learn React when you've got a solid foundation to stand on."

"Yea, I definitely agree with the 'underestimating state management' thing. I've seen beginners struggle with keeping their app's state organized, end up with a giant blob of code. Anyone else have a favorite library for state management?"

"Yup, I can vouch for the 'overcomplicating state management' thing. I spent way too long stuck on trying to use Redux for a small project, when in reality MobX would've been a better fit. Don't overthink it, just pick a state management tool and go!"

"Definitely agree with not overcomplicating components - I've seen so many new devs trying to cram too much logic into a single file. Keep it simple and break it down into smaller, reusable components. Been there, done that, and saved myself a ton of headaches."

"Yooo, I feel ya. One thing I always tell newbies is to not overcomplicate things, start with the basics and build simple apps before diving into complex projects."

"Dude, I think a major one is not understanding the component lifecycle. It's easy to get confused between render, update, and mount, but once you get the hang of it, building apps becomes a breeze. Been there, done that, got the shirt"
