          {user.name}
        </div>
      ))}

}
Assistant Response:
## Summary
This component has several issues that need addressing, including missing 
dependencies, poor key usage, and accessibility concerns.

## Critical Issues 🔴

1. **Missing useEffect dependency**
   Line 5: fetchUsers should be in the dependency array
   
2. **Anti-pattern: index as key**
   Line 10: Using index as key breaks reconciliation
   
## Best Practices 🟢

1. **Improve accessibility**
   Add keyboard support and semantic HTML
