Personally, I find it a lot easier to delete things than add them, so the mis-named boilerplate is a pretty nice place to start, if you ask me.
- Tyrant505 16y agoYea, I was thinking the same thing. I almost googled what "boilerplate" means and where it came from but then I decided to get back to work instead.
- shantanubala 16y agoYeah. And it's not like I can't use previous code from previous projects as a starting point (since I use Python, I have a skeleton Jinja template handy that is all I use for HTML5). If all he's providing is a couple tags and the doctype declaration, why would I even need his "boilerplate"? A knowledge repository is a lot more useful than basically telling me I need a doctype, html/head/body tags, and a compatibility layer for IE.
