AI coding tools are a great way to generate boilerplate, blat out repetitive structures and help with blank page syndrome. None of those mean you can ignore checking what they generate. They fit into the same niche as Stackoverflow - you can yoink all the 3rd party code snippets you want, but it’s going to be some work to get them running well even if you understand what they’re doing, and if you neglect this step hoo boy can it come back to bite you!

Great, a ridiculously expensive lorum ipsum generator.
Sometimes lorum ipsum is useful.
Sure, but you don’t need an LLM for that. That’s like using a bazooka to kill a housefly.
This has been my argument for a while. If you’re doing boilerplate once in a while, it’s a good way to keep even the boring part of your skills sharp.
If you’re doing it regularly, just make a fucking template you can copy paste, or set it up in your IDE’s code snippet functionality.
