The document discusses the challenges a software engineer faced when building their first application without frameworks. They started with a chess game but encountered issues like files becoming too large, bugs being difficult to debug, and having to change code in many files for small changes. They realized applications could become very large with many developers. Frameworks help address these issues by promoting separability, independence, and readability of code. Frameworks provide reusable libraries and structures to build applications without repeating work. This allows developers to focus on game logic rather than rebuilding common structures. The document introduces the MVC framework pattern with descriptions of how the model, view, and controller components work together.
