I don't think anyone's job is copying "know-how". Knowing how goes a lot deeper than writing the code.

Especially in web, boilerplate/starters/generators that do exactly what you want with little to no code or familiarity has been the norm for at least a decade. This is the lifeblood of repos like npm.

What we have is better search for all this code and documentation that was already freely available and ready to go.
