When NOT to use Logic Extensions

We will dive into Logic Extensions and what our experience with them has taught us. Getting a powerful tool will have you looking for opportunities to use it for everything, and a lot of time you can, but should you? Wanting to learn the product, we looked for opportunities to use it. Starting off, we definitely forced it, today we try to be more cognizant of all the factors. We’re still learning, but we’re getting better.
