All Things Web @ Zepto
I'm a software engineer with a passion for web applications. I currently work at Zepto, mostly focusing on web performance and improving the overall user experience. Before this, I worked at JioMart.
I’m always trying to learn and get better at what I do. A lot of my time goes into understanding how things work, fixing issues, and paying attention to small details that make a difference over time.
This space is a mix of everything I care about. I write about frontend engineering and performance, but also share thoughts from work, life, and things I’m learning along the way.

As per the React documentation, whenever a component mounts for the first time, React will unmount and mount it again. In the beginning, it may seem like an odd behavior from React, but in the post we will explore why we should embrace it rather than consider it a bug.
