Thank you for the comment! I a gree with the "trigger after the first render" issue.
However if we move setTimeout to handleOnChange we will have to take care of handling clear timeout manually (useEffect do it for us with the return callback fn).
The other thing is that logging to the console / fetching some data etc. are side effects to value changes - useEffect seems like a perfect choice here.
I would rather add some extra logic inside useEffect (e.g. using useRef) to make sure that our effect runs only after the second and every subsequent render. What do you think?
