The truth can't be handled
Yesterday, we covered how to ask the right questions. Now we’ll cover investigating some common theories in Software.
Reusable code for common use cases like a chat or social media app is abundant.

Templates do exist but when I’ve tried to work with existing templates, the inherited complexity and existing unnecessary code has always much more hassle that it’s worth.
Tomorrow we’ll bust:
