Hey Mosh!

First, thanks for the great React course. So in the Form Chapter, i recognized you are showing two ways of controlling / accessing input fields.

by using useState Hook you teach making input fields save by setting a value. Is this also truthy for the useRef hook?

@smollito I have the same question when getting to this point. Did you find the answer for this?
