React Context Provider Nightmare

Theo - ping.gg I’ll give this a shot React Context was a mistake Yangshun Tay Fun fact: facebook.com homepage has over 70+ Context.Providers at the root of the app

A Twitter-style post shows someone attempting to understand React Context while a code window rapidly fills with an enormous, seemingly endless nesting of Context.Provider components. The joke is that Facebook’s homepage allegedly has over 70 Context Providers at the root, turning “I’ll give this a shot” into a programmer’s nightmare and illustrating why React Context can become unwieldy. It is used as a reaction to overwhelming code, excessive nesting, or a project architecture that has spiraled out of control.
