Let's talk about boilerplate code! The template you use when you see the blank screen and get started with writing is the basic code that get you started. It's been making the lives of developers easy for so long. We, developers, have engraved it into our muscle memory so much that we no longer feel the need to understand it anymore, right? Wrong!

Here are 5 reasons why a new developer needs to learn about boilerplate code :

1. It's a cookie question in the interviews! Yes, you heard me. Understanding boilerplate code can help you ace the entry-level job interview.

2. Strong fundamentals are going to help us enhance our knowledge.

3. Senior developers need to have a good understanding of all the codebases, not just one part of the codebase.

4. The fundaments of making an HTML document, or knowing which packages to install in React can help you save a day of headaches when you are working on production projects.

5. It's going to help you with a clear understanding of how the browser is going to read your code, it will probe you to write code more efficiently and make it more readable for the team members who are going to work on it.

   Happy Coding!
