Episode notes

The chapter delves into the benefits of using state machines to model app logic and control states in software development. It emphasizes the advantages of having a centralized location for managing app logic to ensure valid state transitions and aid in debugging. The discussion also covers the process of incorporating state machines in apps using x-state, highlighting the importance of visual representation for clarity and predictability in code production.
