I'm a fan of Kent C. Dodds. He has an excellent blog , he holds office hours on Youtube  and he manages an active Discord community focused on helping developers make maintainable React apps. I especially appreciate the way he thinks about state management in React apps. It does not have to be so reliant on external libraries.
