    Good article. However you have broken the rule 'Incorrectly relying on the current state value for calculating the next state' inside 'Working with simple arrays'.

    You shouldn't have

    setItems([...items, item]);

    but instead

    setItems((items) => [...items, item]);

      In that specific case it's actually not necessary to use the updater function since React will correctly handle the update.
