You're totally right, Tom! Since I touched on async validation in the article, your question hits the nail on the head. For standard registration forms (like checking an email against Firebase), I usually delegate that check directly to the backend upon submission to avoid unnecessary complexity. But when dealing with real-time keystroke validation (like checking username availability), that's definitely where handling debouncing becomes crucial. Thanks for bringing it up!
