When I see someone talk about the reams of boilerplate they’re getting the LLM to write for them, I really do wonder what godawful sounding tools and tech-stack they’re being subjected to.

Exactly. Back in the day, people talked about "design patterns". It took a while for (some of) the industry to recognize that "design patterns" are a sign that your libraries and tools aren't good enough, because you're having to write the same patterns repeatedly.

Anything where you’re doing basic CRUD apps. Yes there are generators, but not for everything. For me that’s where LLMs have been the most useful.
