Or “boilerplate generators”, I’m working on a laravel project and I think 90% of the code written so far is either generated or copy-pasted (from other files, from the css framework examples, from the docs). The trick is to know what to generate, what to copy, and keep it minimal. And that’s done by pretty much reading the entire docs and some of the framework’s code to understand how the pieces fit together. And what you need to replace/add on top to get your application. I’m not tethering myself to a distant datacenter just to be able to write some code.
