Does this skill help with immutable data patterns?

Yes, it provides clear patterns for ensuring object and array updates create new references, which is essential for the OnPush strategy to correctly detect changes.

When should I run code outside of Zone.js?

You should use ngZone.runOutsideAngular() for high-frequency operations like animations, scroll events, or polling that do not require an immediate UI update, preventing unnecessary change detection cycles.

How do Angular Signals improve performance?

Signals provide fine-grained reactivity, allowing Angular to track exactly where data is used and update only those specific parts of the UI rather than re-checking the entire component tree.

What is the benefit of the OnPush strategy?

OnPush reduces change detection cycles by only checking a component when its inputs change, an event is triggered within the component, or an observable emits through the async pipe, leading to significant performance gains.
