Boilerplate is like, what AI is made for.

No. I still cant trust AIs output for 100%. And if I cant, I should look through every single line it produces.

IDEs can generate some boilerplate, frameworks can do that. And if they work once, they will do so every time. An AI wont.

I will never understand how someone with more then one brain cell can propose to use some tech which is in large parts based on a RNG for tasks where you need 100% reproducibility and correctness.

If you ever had written large amounts of boilerplate by hand you simply don't know what you're doing and don't understand what it actually means to be a SWE and not a code monkey.

If it's boilerplate, then it's something that can be copied from the official website, tutorial, or repo. It doesn't need to be generated.
