I don't see the problem with boilerplate or editing code. Even using a template with your CI/CRUD boilerplate/deploy scripts/... is no problem if you have version control, you can easily see what comes from the template, what you've changed, and reconcile with a new version of the template. What is the problem? That not 100% of the code in the file is business logic or only exists in that project? When I receive a letter, there is plenty of boilerplate there: addresses, greetings, sign offs, business hours... does that really get in the way of my reading the message, once I'm used to the format? The information is there if I need it, easy to ignore if I don't, and easy to copy-paste for the author who will update if needed (e.g. closed exceptionally or something). Is the author running into a problem or just complaining about perceived inefficiencies that don't actually get in anyone's way?
