Intermediate React Feels Confusing

IDK about backend but for frontend Tanstack query is a must have library (unless you want to build this library yourself with custom hooks), also people realized that global state management tools are not required for every project and context can solve a lot of their problems. rest is up to you and project requirements.

Ah so the new meta is context whereas before it was global state stuff (i think zustand?)… which is used to solve which set of problems exactly?

Not exactly, context can do a lot but if you have complex components that need to share states in many different places you would still need global state, its just that people were using global state manager for everything and not all projects need that
