10. React useDeferredValue: Lazy Search Without Debounce

    Nov 10, 2025

    Debouncing with setTimeout is a pragmatic crutch, not a solution. useDeferredValue from React 18 defers expensive render work without a fixed time window, so the browser stays responsive while the result list updates in the background.
