Cloudflare outage due to excessive useEffect API calls

As someone who started using react about 6 months before they introduced hooks, I remember there was a period where people were really complaining about having to manually reason about what went into every single hook dependency list. Eventually the linting rule was published. I distinctly remember appreciating the rule in situations where a variable that used to be a "plain" variable became a useState hook - it caught some existing uses of the variable in hooks that otherwise were unrelated to the code being changed.

I also distinctly remember being disappointed that there was no specific way to annotate code that needed to disable that rule to prevent infinite loops, just a generic // @eslint-ignore... I guess they still haven't shipped a better way?
