Some of my first thoughts on the new 16.3 release of React...

New Context API:

- I’m glad they made the context API less scary, but as a redux user I will still be staying away from using context as a best practise.

Strict Mode:

- I like this a lot. React allows for great freedom in how you do things, but also offers the freedom to write some shit code that in the end does the job. A way to enforce best practises in JSX is good in my eyes.

New lifecycle methods:

- meh. Life moves on
