No I don’t agree. Just because it’s « boilerplate », that does not mean it’s worthless or doesn’t carry novelty. There is « boilerplate » in building many things, house, cars etc where to add real new stuff it’s « always the same base » but you have to nail that base and there is real value in it. With craft and deep knowledge and pride. Every project is different and not everything can be made from a generic out-of-shelf product

Of course it is not. It is needed, by definition.

> or doesn’t carry novelty.

Of course it does not. Why would a piece of code that simply fills a large C structure with constants be innovative?

Tangential to use of LLMs for boring boilerplate stuff.

A house doesn't seem a good example, because it is made of physical things.
