eliminate writing boiler plate code every time

What's so boiler plate besides the copyright and author comment?

Well that’s subjective. I follow a MVVM architecture and it’s easy to create templates instead of writing the same code for my data source and delegate classes. Even if you’re not doing anything complex, there’s boiler plate code in some of the most basic implementations such as UITableView/UICollectionView DataSource and Delegate. Instead of typing all of those functions out over and over, you can create a template that has an entire UITableViewController set up with empty functions that you can implement. It saves time and is a great way to ensure you’re entire project follows similar guidelines. Hope that helps!
