Hi my name is Omar, I’m a software engineer that specializes in creating great front end experiences, primarily using react. When I’m not engineering I like to game and make music.
Hey Mark, can you elaborate on why you’re recommending the react-redux hooks as the default. What are the pro’s of that approach as opposed to wrapping components in connect.
connect still works fine, and we're going to continue maintaining and supporting it indefinitely.
But, useSelector and useDispatch are shorter and easier to work with in many cases, and they definitely work better with TypeScript. There's less indirection, less code, and it's more obvious what's happening.

I'd encourage you to go through those.
Thanks for the links, that’s exactly what I was looking for. My team and I have been trying to understand the trade offs.
