And there it was. A tiny, red error message: this.handleRemoveAll is not a function .
Leo’s cursor blinked on a blank App.js file. Outside his window, the city was a grid of sleepy lights, but inside his apartment, the only glow came from his monitor. He was stuck. His side project, "Task Atlas," a beautifully interactive map for freelance gigs, had a bug that felt personal. The state was a tangled mess, updates lagged, and components re-rendered like a stuttering engine.
He’d watched tutorials. He’d copy-pasted from Stack Overflow. Nothing worked. He was a fraud in a hoodie.
Leo froze. He looked back at his onClick handler: onClick={this.handleRemoveAll()} .
Six months later, Leo pushed "Task Atlas" to production. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. The map panned smoothly, the gig cards updated in real-time, and the state, for once, was a quiet, predictable river.
