I simply do not get this argument about LLMs writing tedious code or scaffolding. You don't need or want LLMs for that, you want libraries and frameworks.
I barely write any scaffolding code, because I use tools that setup the scaffolding for me.
If you're lucky to work in such an environment, more power to you. A lot of people have to deal with React where you need so much glue for basic tasks, and React isn't even the worst offender. Some boilerplate you can't wrap.
I use React at work, there is barely any boilerplate. I actually started a brand new project based on React recently and the initial setup before working on actual components was minutes.
