[QUESTION] Why use lodash in components/questions.js?

[AaronLlanos]

Is there a reason why you decided to pull in the lodash library for the map method? I know shuffle may have been beneficial for the purpose of randomizing your questions, but I was just curious.

Thanks for the question. I used lodash's map method because 1) I wanted the code to look more consistent by using 2 lodash methods instead of one lodash and one native method. And 2) the lodash map method implementation is actually faster than the native implementation. But I guess speed is trivial for this app because my questions reducers returns an array with just 5 objects in it.

Oh wow that's interesting! I just checked the stats on jsperf and the results were pretty interesting. I just learned something new today! 🤘
