It seems like the next step up from

I think the usefulness really depends on if you want repeatable output from your LLM or if you use the LLM to build repeatable process (like terraform for config).

React knows which component instance it's rendering based on the current Fiber instance. That gets saved as a module-scoped variable in the hooks impl file, and the hook functions iterate through the list of hooks in a field on that Fiber. See

hot take: this is not any better than getServerSideProps direct db access in server components is great dx for hacky starters and then you’ll want to undo it more and more as your app grows and needs o11y/security/auth/caching etc theres one killer app for RSCs - reducing js bundles. stick to that
