 1. To update state in React, we use `this.setState` - we don't set it directly except in the constructor. `setState` only takes the properties we're interested in updating and our component will re-render as appropriate.
 1. We're using class property initializers with arrow functions (e.g. `onIncrement = () => ...`).

 We won't use this stateful component any further in this starter.
 Stateful components are great for creating components that focus solely on presenting content (as opposed to handling core application state).
