Keynote Simply React
summary
Claims that common React patterns let one replace a tangled, prop-heavy component with a composable core: a demonstrated 37-line component powers accordion and tabs variants without changing the core. Uses render props, a state reducer and compound/provider patterns and cites an extreme example of 125 props. Shows concrete refactors, copy‑paste variant recipes, and a working downshift-style autocomplete, arguing the patterns reduce duplication and runtime/maintenance costs while introducing measured abstraction overhead.
