Thank you for your comment.

My personal opinion is that if you have trouble with "this," you are really going to struggle with understanding closures and exactly which execution of this function the variable belongs to. And if you can't understand that, you won't be able to figure out which of the shifting rules around the various built-in hooks applies in any given situation.

Also, if your team doesn't have the discipline for "this," then they will likely walk right into the traps that hooks offer to do business logic in the View.

I think we can agree that we need to code for the weakest member we expect to have on our teams. However, I think that the weakest member needs to be much stronger and more disciplined in a world where you let them use hooks as advertised by the React team.
