7. Testing: 1...2...3... 1: What is one way gulp could help improve your everyday workflow? 2: Do you need to be part of a huge team or working on a huge project for gulp to be helpful? Explain. 3: Do you think gulp should have a GUI? What are some advantages of a GUI? Disadvantages? 4: gulp plugins are designed to do one task and one task only, why would they choose to do this? Isn’t more better?
