Avoiding the boilerplate is part of the job as a software developer.

Abstracting the boilerplate is how you make things easier for future you.

Giving it to an AI to generate just makes the boilerplate more of a problem when there's a change that needs to be made to _all_ the instances of it. Even worse if the boilerplate isn't consistent between copies in the codebase.

What's weird for me is that most frameworks and tools usually include generators for boilerplate code anyway so not sure why wasting tokens/money on that is valuable.
