   Someone pointed out that they basically used an LLM to build the boilerplate code for a project they wanted.

   I'll admit that's a reasonable thing since it's literally automating some boring parts and gets you past that blank page hurdle.

   Could you swap that LLM for a cookbook? Sure. It just saved you from looking through it.

     Totally. When I say "boilerplate" I mean the sort of general skeleton code that you'd find in a cookbook. (e.g. I need a rust app that uses Cadence for metrics, Actix for web handling and Slog for logging. Basically this: https://github.com/mozilla-services/skeleton )

     I'd still review the hell out of it, but at least it's better than digging through manuals for stuff you forgot last time.
