Tailored boilerplate code

I can write code, but it's only a skill I've picked up out of necessity and I hate doing it. I am not familiar with deep programming concepts or specific language quirks and many projects live or die by how much time I have to invest in learning a language I'll never use again.

Even self-hosted LLMs are good enough at spitting out boilerplate code in popular languages that I can skip the deep-dive and hit the ground running- you know, be productive.

I do this as well—I'm currently automating a repetitive workflow for work using python. What's the latest project you've generated boilerplate code for?
