UI Forms and Validation

In this task we will take a look at a fullstack task: UI Forms and Validations. Many companies love migrating their existing paperforms into the digital world and don't really like recreating them in a way that makes more sense online. So they enforce many constraints and dependencies that sometimes do not make any sense anymore, besides increasing the complexity and cost of the project. At the same time, they want to completely remove any human from the process, this time to save costs, and thus the application has to handle every possible combination of inputs and validate it accordingly.

WhizCorp is just such a corporation, yay!

5. Discuss your strategy with your teammates Alice and Bob.
